A Safe Place To Finally Heal From The Trauma TM
Support for survivors of assault and abuse, by providing a place to:
feel safe, feel welcomed, and have access to multiple resources.
A brief description of the video is provided, yet we have no way of knowing
what you will find "triggery"
and recommend that if you start feeling un-easy, please stop the video and come back another time
when you feel stronger or have a supporter with you.
All videos must be approved by A Sanctuary's administrative team.
We will be embedding the videos and have no control over the video's availability.
You can submit a video by emailing a
brief description of the video to
webmaster@asanctuary.net
with "video suggestion" in the subject line.*
Tentatively our "Theme Video",
because we interpret it as what most survivors are and what many wish for.
"Don't Stop Dancing"
created by
Garden's Rain
Embeded on 11/29/2010
Tenative Description - This video and song bring together:
our struggles {the attack}
(At times life is wicked and I just can't see the light), our resilience {we are survivors}
(A silver lining sometomes isn't enought to make some wrongs seem right), and our hope {we're not alone, not anymore}
(But I know I must go on, Although I hurt, I must be strong, Because inside I know that many feel this way)
--> As Survivors, we can do together more than we can ever do alone
(by offering each other
a thumb to wipe away a tear,
a hand to lean your head into,
a shoulder to cry on when we must,
a smile of encouragement after we fight our way through "the storm",
and when we emerge out of it, we have grown).
A single tear rolls down his cheek,
because now he knows that she understands what so few can.

"You Can"

Embeded on 12/26/2010
Description - We have more strength than we believe, we can do more than we
think. If only the perpetrator hadn't completely crush our self-esteem (such is the
case for many). Watch the video and reclaim what you may have lost.
"You Can Find A Way"
(to keep going)
by
A Place For Healing
Embeded on 12/26/2010
Description - "We hope that after you watch this video, you will feel raised up"
There are three possible trigggers;
* pic of a man shaking a child-"You never listen, are you stupid?",
* pic of a tear on a child's face-"He'll never see my silent tears."
(a promise we are sure that many survivors have made, and most kept)
* some Christian content, though no strong.
"Return To Innocence"
by
A Place For Healing
Embeded on 12/26/2010
Description - Once again A Place For Healing has created a two sided video.
It is for both survivors and for those that care for them.
This video encourages you to (report if you can but get counseling if you can't)
so you can resolve your trauma.
Return to your full, or entire self, instead of being broken and feeling "less than".
Administrator's Note -
This video contains footage of Smiles Alot (from Dances With Wolves) being struck by a
US Soldier. Sadly, he never smiled after this confrontation. Reclaim your innocent smile.
