Carnival Against Child Abuse: January 2010 Announcement
I am pleased to host this month's Carnival Against Child Abuse.
Submissions are due by Wednesday, January 27th and I will publish on Friday, January 29th.
Submit at: Blog Carnival Submissions
A blog carnival is a collection of blog articles (or art or poetry) hosted on a single site for the purpose of bringing readers and writers together.
There is no theme this month, in part due to time being short.
Don't have a blog or need help? Send an email to paul@mindparts.org and I will help you. In particular, if you don't have a blog, I will be happy to receive your article by email and I will host it here as a "guest" submission with byline credit given as you specify. This is a great opportunity for non-bloggers to make a statement and "test the waters" so to speak.
On the submission page you will be asked to pick a category of: Advocacy & Awareness; Aftermath; Healing & Therapy; In the News; Poetry; or Survivor Stories. There is a new category titled "Art Therapy", so please feel free to send in your art! Also, your blog itself does not need to be about child abuse, just the post you are submitting. And you can submit older articles and more than one article.
I hope you submit! The blogging community has a lot to contribute on the subject of child abuse and healing. Let your voice be heard.

Welcome
"Healing from Trauma and Dissociation"
I'm Paul, a father, husband, scientist, educator, photographer and musician. I'm also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.
Mind Parts consists of my own insights on the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse, namely trauma stress and the full spectrum of dissociative coping mechanisms, including dissociative identities. Through a blog, I explore the healing process in a variety of ways—using creative contributions of original art, photography, poetry, and music as well as, hopefully, though-provoking essays. Mind Parts is also home to two support services. The quarterly Ezine Trauma Recovery Highlights is a look at some of the best online resources. Also, the monthly Expressive Arts Carnival makes available activities which are published as a group "Carnival."
Comments are welcomed, but if you prefer, you may contact me offline. My belief is that sites like this one can contribute by offering unique perspectives and knowledge, thereby enhancing opportunities not only for survivors but for readers and society as a whole. Namaste!
I went there and posted. Have a great weekend - or, I hope you had a great weekend!
This is explained so well, Paul. Great post! Thanks so much for being our last-minute host for January...and such a great host, too! :)
Hi Paul, I submitted something. I hope it's ok. Thank you for hosting the carnival and for your blog.
