The Battle to Stop Ritual Abuse
For over 25 years, survivors and their advocates have worked to stop ritual abuse by educating the general public about these crimes. Through an intense struggle this research has been made public and survivors have been helped. Exposing the backlash and its true motives and how their work continues to promote social injustice will be discussed in this presentation.

Social Security Benefits Eligibility as a Tool for Recovery
The Social Security Administration offers two programs that may provide income, health insurance and access to a variety of adjunctive social services that facilitate recovery. The application process for these programs and the necessity of securing the support of treating clinicians is often overwhelming for individuals already experiencing the effects of trauma.

Trauma Recovery – A Path of Human Development
In my talk, I will discuss the three phases of trauma recovery, which I call 1) the stabilization phase, 2) the processing phase, and 3) the surmounting phase. I will talk briefly about each phase, largely focusing on the transition from the second to third phase – processing to surmounting the trauma.
Anne Redelfs is a retired psychiatrist. Disgruntled by the excessive use of drugs on the mentally ill, she left medicine to study developmental psychology. She published her findings in The Awakening Storm – a book about the impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans and the impact of trauma on humans.

The Long Voyage Out: The Epic Challenge of Recovery from Organized Abuse.
The essential challenge of healing is to facilitate the natural drive to get back into native equilibrium – to find the banished orphans of extreme experience and bring them back home to conscious awareness. And the good news is, you don’t have to do it alone.
Carmen Holiday is a survivor of human trafficking, ritual abuse-torture and trauma-based mind control. She has been an advocate for other survivors since 2001, developing and facilitating trauma recovery workshops and presenting as a survivor of RA-MC for several organizations.

The Hero’s Journey: Healing from Extreme Abuse
Many survivors of abuse (extreme or otherwise) carry a deep sense of unworthiness and victimization – a belief that they somehow deserved the terrible treatment they received and are now “broken” or “damaged.” The objective of my presentation is to discuss the healing process in the context of coming home to one’s true divine nature, using the metaphor of the hero’s journey to describe the shift out of a victim self-view into one of empowerment and wholeness.
Lily spent the first 20 years of her life surviving incest, satanic ritual abuse, mind control, and child trafficking. She began her healing journey in 2000, with emphasis on energetic methods for addressing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of recovery.
