Making Him Accountable For Abuse - and advice on how to move on — Thu, 08 Aug 2019 16:07:46 +0000

[…] How you deal with what happened is up to you but I think that you have the courage to find ways to help you heal. In the meantime please try to do plenty of self-care and lashings of self kindness. Also try to be present to joy when it happens. As well as feeling hurt, sad, angry, abused, you’re also allowed to sometimes feel light, joyful, and free. Just feel the feelings as they come and try not to make yourself have the feelings you feel like you should have. My mate Meg-John wrote a really great zine about this https://www.rewriting-the-rules.com/self/new-zine-staying-with-feelings/  […]

Thanks so much Elizabeth – I’m so glad that you like it. Absolutely it is free to share on with anybody who wants to read it. I’m really hoping that the zine format will help get some of these ideas and practices to folk who might struggle to access long written formats 🙂

Dear Meg John, thought for a long while you might be one of the coolest people I know and your wonderful Zine is just more evidence. If it’s OK to share, I will with a young man (family member) that I love. I have struggled to find a way to reach him in his distress but I think your wise words will work in a situation where I have felt silenced and unable to help. So glad you’re in my life and in my inbox. Elizabeth (Wilson) from the 2nd Tuesday group.

Thank you for this MJ. I love how you have condensed so much into a small space with such clarity. Theory, examples, practice suggestions are introduced gently, thoughtfully and with respect. I am sharing furiously.

Thanks so much for the positive comment Margot. Absolutely this is free for anybody to download and share on as they see fit – please do share with clients if they might find it useful.

Btw I go by Meg-John (or MJ for short) these days rather than Meg 🙂
