Dhana ya uponyaji
Ingawa hii ni jukwaa la kujielekeza mwenyewe, unapata uponyaji katika jamii pamoja na waathirika wengine. Tunakualika uwe katika jamii kwa kusema ndiyo kwa safari yako mwenyewe na kushuhudia safari ya waathirika wengine ambao pia wanatumia tovuti hii.
Kutenganishwa kimwili hakileti kikwazo kwa uwezo wetu wa kuwa katika jamii. Tunaamini kwamba uelewa wa hisia za mwingine: uwezo wa kuelewa na kushiriki hisia za mwingine ni kitendo cha huruma na njia tunayoshikilia jamii.
Kuhusu Survivor’s Sanctuary
Survivor’s Sanctuary ni mwaliko wa kuchagua uponyaji. Jukwaa hili la kujielekeza mwenyewe kabisa linawaalika waathirika kuvinjari na kushiriki masomo 36 tofauti ya uponyaji kwa kasi yao wenyewe. Masomo yamegawanywa katika njia 3 tofauti za kuingia kwenye uponyaji kupitia akili, mwili na muunganisho wa akili na mwili. Masomo ya uponyaji yanatolewa katika mwingiliano wa dakika 5, dakika 15, na dakika 25+ kukuruhusu kufanya kazi kwa kasi yako mwenyewe. Unaweza kujielekeza kwenye masomo ambayo unayovutiwa nayo au kuyajaribu yote. Masomo yanaweza kuhifadhiwa kwa matumizi ya baadaye, kurudiwa, na kuongezwa kwenye orodha yako ya hatua za kitendo za uponyaji.
Jinsi tunavyopona
Masomo ya uponyaji yanayotolewa kupitia jukwaa hili yanaelekezwa kwa ukuaji baada ya matukio mabaya yanayoleta kiwewe. Ukuaji baada ya matukio haya unafafanuliwa kama mabadiliko mazuri ya kisaikolojia ambayo hutokea kutokana na mapambano na hali za maisha zenye changamoto kubwa (Calhoun na Tedeschi, 1996). Kupitia njia hizi tatu, kila somo linakusudiwa kuwasaidia waathirika kwa kuwafundisha kuhusu asili ya kile wanachokipitia; kujenga udhibiti wa kihisia; kuongeza ujasiri; na kufafanua upya simulizi yao binafsi.
Ukuaji Baada ya Matukio Mabaya:
Ukuaji baada ya matukio mabaya unafafanuliwa kama faida chanya za kisaikolojia ambazo mtu hupata kwa kushughulikia kwa makusudi hali za maisha zenye changamoto. Ukuaji baada ya msongo wa mawazo unaonekana kama:
- Uwezo wa kutambua kwamba una chaguo katika jinsi unavyopona, jinsi unavyofafanua hadithi yako
- Uwezo ulioongezeka wa kutunza
- Uwezo wa kuunda kwa makusudi
- Uwezo wa kufikia na kuendeleza utulivu katika mwili wako
- Uwezo wa kufanya mahusiano yenye afya na maana na wengine
Njia
Masomo yamegawanywa katika njia tatu tofauti
Kulingana na mazoea bora ya kutatua msongo wa mawazo mgumu. Iwe una utambuzi rasmi au la, tunaamini kwamba waathirika wote wa unyanyasaji wa kingono wanaweza kunufaika na uingiliaji kati unaolengwa katika maeneo haya matatu. Hakuna wima moja inayoweza kuleta mabadiliko kamili, zinakusudiwa kuunganishwa. Tunakualika kuzingatia njia hizi kama zana ambazo unaweza kuunganisha katika safari yako ya uponyaji.
Masomo yanayopatikana katika sehemu za Akili, Mwili, na Muunganisho
Yameundwa kuwapa waathirika chaguo na uwezo wa kufanya kazi katika jinsi wanavyoshiriki uponyaji wao. Tunaelewa kwamba chaguo na uwezo wa kufanya kazi ni vitu viwili tu vya vile vinavyondolewa kwa waathirika, kwa hivyo tunajitahidi kurejesha baadhi ya sifa hizo kupitia Safari ya Uponyaji wa Waathirika wa ‘me too.’ Waathirika wanaalikwa kuvinjari na kushiriki masomo kwa kasi yao wenyewe. Unaweza kujielekeza kwenye masomo ambayo unayovutiwa nayo, au kuyajaribu yote. Masomo yamegawanywa katika mwingiliano wa dakika 5, dakika 15, na dakika 25+ ili uweze kufanya kazi kwa kasi yako mwenyewe. Unaweza kujielekeza kwenye masomo ambayo unayovutiwa nayo au kuyajaribu yote. Masomo yanaweza kuhifadhiwa kwa matumizi ya baadaye, kurudiwa, na kuongezwa kwenye orodha yako ya mafanikio ya uponyaji.
Nadharia Yetu ya Uponyaji
me too. International believes that healing is an action word. It does not speak to a plateau point but rather an ongoing process grounding and reconnecting to one’s body, one’s sense of self power; one’s relationship to others and reconnecting with one’s past and future. Thus, healing is intentional, iterative, and intergenerational. Our theory of healing centers growth, post-trauma and the choice to heal.
Healing is a choice. That choice is activated when we say yes to ourselves. Healing is happening right now. The fact that you are here. You are with us. For survivors, healing is the way we give ourselves permission to begin anew. For some survivors, healing is already happening. You have chosen to take intentional steps to heal on purpose.
For others, the choice to heal has felt more elusive because the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of healing are unclear. Our healing starts with us but it does not end there. Survivors heal most effectively with others. When we prioritize our needs and our healing, we make space for us to show up and heal in community. Survivors survive with one another not alone.
Empathy is the vehicle that allows survivors to heal in community. Starting with empathy for oneself and one’s own story, empathy can then be offered to other survivors. The personal journey of healing is a gift to one’s self that takes courage and community. Empathy acts as a means of connecting us to the stories, feelings and experiences of fellow survivors.
Empathy is the tool that empowers and reminds survivors that they are not alone in this healing journey. It is the capacity to see ourselves in another. It is the invitation to share ourselves with someone who knows and understands our story. We survive with you, not separate from you.
We choose to heal in order to reclaim our power – individually and collectively – and as an act of resistance to state violence and patriarchy. The me too. International framework posits that courageous individuals make courageous communities. We apply that same understanding to healing – healed people build healed communities.
Healed communities are better positioned to resist and usher in the radical change necessary to end sexual violence. There is power in our individual healing and that power can be catalyzed to activate community healing. Whether or not you identify as a survivor, there is room for you here as someone who has been impacted by sexual violence.
