This documentary series explores the horrifying, yet relatively unknown story of the Christian church La Luz del Mundo (LLDM) and the sexual abuse that scores of members, many of them minors, say they have suffered at the hands of its successive leaders, known as the “Apostles.” Told from the point of view of the survivors who met to share their stories of abuse, the series chronicles the history of one of the most powerful religious groups not only in Mexico where it was founded, but also in the United States, while giving voice to the men and women who were brave enough to stand up and call out the heinous crimes.

PTSD Abstract

caitlynwest — 2024-06-03 16:47:11 UTC

PTSD is a condition that can affect anyone involved in a traumatic experience. We are discovering those with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) more and more as violence and death become more prevalent in America, from war to school shootings to car accidents. Car accidents or Motor Vehicle Collisions (MVC) happen roughly 35,000 times a day over the United States, and in those approximately 25-33% of those present with PTSD 30+ days post-accident. Symptoms include emotional pain, flashbacks, physical arousal, easy startling and somatic symptom pain. Patients who receive care immediately, including CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and supportive therapy were 50% more likely to be diagnosis free after five weeks. Chronic pain, developed from the accident or from the psychological pain, if treated, improved the likelihood of patients being diagnosis free if the physical symptoms were also addressed. Patients who experienced a MVC with a fatality were also at a higher risk of developing PTSD. Immediate, long-term care is the best option for ensuring a patient can recover from PTSD.

Why reflects beliefs, reasons, purpose and objectives of an institution that eventually motivate its members to adopt them. Caution, failures of human psychology can induce people to consider a single factor. Responsible answers to questions can help to improve the quality of What we do.

Survivors of sexual abuse and the PTSD that follows.

2024-06-10 00:00:07 UTC

Survivors of sexual harassment often go through psychological effects, with many developing symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The traumatic nature of the harassment can lead to intrusive memories, nightmares, and flashbacks, relentlessly re-experiencing the distressing events. These individuals may become hyper-vigilant, constantly on edge, and easily startled, their sense of safety shattered. Avoidance behaviors, such as steering clear of triggering situations or people, can dominate their lives, hindering their ability to function effectively. Persistent negative alterations in mood and cognition may also emerge, manifesting as feelings of detachment, guilt, or persistent fear. Relationships, work, and daily activities may be profoundly impacted as survivors navigate the complex terrain of their trauma, striving to reclaim a sense of control and security amidst the enduring aftermath of harassment. Recognizing the stresses that follow sexual abuse and manipulation is crucial.
