Por favor, sigue estas directrices durante las reuniones y en sus comunicaciones con otros sobrevivientes fuera de ellas.<\/span><br \/>\n<span>Estas directrices surgen directamente de las Tradiciones Uno y Dos. Su prop\u00f3sito es proporcionar a los sobrevivientes un marco para comunicarse de maneras saludables y funcionales, considerando tanto su propio bienestar como el de otros sobrevivientes. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? En pocas palabras, durante nuestra infancia no aprendimos formas saludables de manejar ni de comunicar nuestro dolor y nuestros conflictos. Cuando nos activamos emocionalmente, es f\u00e1cil olvidar los principios de una comunicaci\u00f3n mutuamente afirmativa.<\/span><br \/>\n<span>Por favor, no te preocupes si no recuerdas alguna directriz. Si accidentalmente cruzas un l\u00edmite por ser nuevo, est\u00e1s activado emocionalmente o disociado, el moderador de la reuni\u00f3n volver\u00e1 a leer amablemente la directriz correspondiente despu\u00e9s de que termine de compartir. Adem\u00e1s, dado que es responsabilidad de todos los miembros mantener la seguridad de nuestras reuniones, si un moderador, anfitri\u00f3n o secretario no puede leer una directriz, cualquier miembro puede pedir amablemente al moderador que la relea una vez finalizada la participaci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Asimismo, cuando des una advertencia de posible activaci\u00f3n emocional por una posible infracci\u00f3n de una directriz (por ejemplo: lenguaje inapropiado, relatos altamente gr\u00e1ficos de abuso o citas de literatura externa), informa a los oyentes sobre qu\u00e9 tipo de contenido vas a mencionar y crea una breve pausa para que las personas tengan tiempo de cuidarse a s\u00ed mismas.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Por \u00faltimo, se pide a los miembros que hayan estado bebiendo alcohol, consumiendo drogas o que est\u00e9n excesivamente medicados que se abstengan de compartir y simplemente escuchen la discusi\u00f3n.<\/span><br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">Directriz 1: No a los Abusadores<\/strong><br \/>\n\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Los abusadores no tienen permitido asistir a las reuniones de SIA. Estamos aqu\u00ed para sanar las heridas del abuso sexual compartiendo nuestra experiencia, fortaleza y esperanza. Podemos hablar sobre el incesto, sus efectos, nuestros recuerdos, nuestros sentimientos, nuestros problemas, nuestra recuperaci\u00f3n, nuestros sue\u00f1os o cualquier otra experiencia, pero no sobre conductas actuales o pasadas de perpetraci\u00f3n en la edad adulta, incluida la objetivaci\u00f3n sexual, ya sea en la pr\u00e1ctica o en la fantas\u00eda, con fines de gratificaci\u00f3n personal.<\/span><br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">Explicaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Si bien todos los sobrevivientes reaccionamos y, en distintos grados, llevamos el pasado al presente, no permitimos que se discutan conductas de perpetraci\u00f3n en la edad adulta durante las reuniones de SIA. La raz\u00f3n es sencilla: nuestro espacio est\u00e1 destinado a que los sobrevivientes puedan sanar las heridas causadas por el abuso sexual sufrido durante la ni\u00f1ez. Cuando los sobrevivientes deben compartir un espacio con personas que han cometido abuso sexual en su vida adulta, el miedo impide que surjan sentimientos de seguridad y confianza. Esto dificulta, e incluso puede hacer imposible, confiar en que las reuniones son un lugar seguro para abrir heridas emocionales y expresar el impacto del abuso sexual infantil. Aunque muchas personas consideran que los abusadores adultos merecen un lugar seguro donde sanar las consecuencias de su propio abuso sexual, las reuniones de SIA no son ese lugar. Ten en cuenta que hablar, de manera general, sobre aquello que una persona fue obligada a hacer cuando era ni\u00f1o, ni\u00f1a o adolescente dentro de un entorno familiar, religioso o escolar abusivo no se considera una infracci\u00f3n de esta directriz si previamente se ofrece una advertencia de contenido potencialmente activador. Tampoco constituye una infracci\u00f3n hablar sobre haber sido condicionado o socializado para participar en conductas problem\u00e1ticas y lamentar o tener dificultades con esas conductas en la actualidad. Dicho esto, hablar sobre abusos cometidos contra otras personas durante la adolescencia no es un tema apropiado para una reuni\u00f3n general de intercambio de SIA. Sin embargo, s\u00ed es apropiado compartirlo con un padrino, compa\u00f1ero de recuperaci\u00f3n o terapeuta.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">Ejemplos de infracci\u00f3n:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cSue\u00f1o con realizar __________ con un adolescente\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cMe gusta participar en __________ (actividades sadomasoquistas, u otras actividades que asemejan una forma sexual con abuso)\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cMe excitan ________ (determinados actos de naturaleza sexual o donde uno se ve a s\u00ed mismo como un objeto sexual)\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cMi hermano abus\u00f3 sexualmente de m\u00ed cuando era ni\u00f1o y despu\u00e9s yo hice lo mismo con otras personas\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">Ejemplos de no infracci\u00f3n:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cMe obligaron a participar en conductas sexuales dentro de mi familia y me cuesta aceptar que no puedo relacionarme sexualmente de forma saludable como adulto\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cTengo una adicci\u00f3n sexual y mantuve conductas sexuales compulsivas hasta que inici\u00e9 mi recuperaci\u00f3n.

Despu\u00e9s de compartir, con frecuencia afloran sentimientos y pensamientos m\u00e1s profundos. Como consecuencia, las personas pueden sentirse emocionalmente expuestas, desafiadas o heridas. Mencionar a otra persona por su nombre, en lugar de referirse a la idea compartida, puede desencadenar recuerdos emocionales dolorosos. Con frecuencia, durante nuestra infancia, nuestros nombres eran pronunciados justo antes de recibir castigos o sufrir da\u00f1o. Del mismo modo, nuestros nombres tambi\u00e9n pudieron haber sido utilizados durante situaciones de abuso sexual. Adem\u00e1s, utilizar el nombre de otra persona al identificarnos con su experiencia puede interpretarse como una minimizaci\u00f3n o un desacuerdo con lo que comparti\u00f3, especialmente si quien se identifica tuvo una reacci\u00f3n, necesidad o manera de afrontar la situaci\u00f3n diferente.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">Ejemplos de infracci\u00f3n:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cS\u00ed, como dijo Joe, algunos d\u00edas es dif\u00edcil levantarse de la cama\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cEstoy de acuerdo con Joe; algunas ma\u00f1anas es dif\u00edcil levantarse de la cama\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">Ejemplos de no infracci\u00f3n:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cComo sobreviviente, algunos d\u00edas me resulta dif\u00edcil levantarme de la cama\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cMe identifico con lo que se comparti\u00f3 antes sobre lo dif\u00edcil que puede ser levantarse de la cama algunas ma\u00f1anas.

Nuestras Tradiciones nos recuerdan que las necesidades de cada persona tienen el mismo valor y que la unidad del grupo tiene prioridad sobre ciertas necesidades de expresi\u00f3n individual. Por ello, no criticamos grupos de personas. Podemos hablar de lo que hace un determinado grupo y relacionarlo inmediatamente con nuestra experiencia de abuso, explicando c\u00f3mo ese grupo nos activa emocionalmente o c\u00f3mo nos recuerda el trato que recibimos de nuestros abusadores. Sin embargo, la ira y las cr\u00edticas deben dirigirse a nuestros abusadores y no a categor\u00edas generales de personas. Esto ayuda a que las reuniones sean un espacio seguro para que todos los sobrevivientes compartan y crezcan. Adem\u00e1s, aprender a manejar la ira y las cr\u00edticas (especialmente cuando son intensas) llevando esos sentimientos activados de vuelta a las experiencias originales de abuso es de un valor incalculable para aprender a atravesar los recuerdos emocionales y las activaciones relacionadas con el TEPT. Con frecuencia, resulta aterrador devolver esos sentimientos a su origen porque es como decirles a nuestros abusadores que estamos enojados con ellos. Cuando criticamos a otras personas en el presente, muchas veces una parte infantil de nuestra psique ha sido activada, pero nos parece m\u00e1s seguro criticar a personas actuales que expresar esos sentimientos hacia quienes realmente nos da\u00f1aron. Parte de nuestro crecimiento, de v\u00edctimas a sobrevivientes resilientes, requiere aprender a devolver los acontecimientos, las activaciones y las emociones despertadas a las experiencias originales de abuso.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">Ejemplos de infracci\u00f3n:<\/strong><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cEl presidente Jake Frons y todos los miembros de su partido pol\u00edtico son unos ego\u00edstas y deber\u00edan ser eliminados\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cQuienes creen que se puede poner fin a una vida antes del nacimiento no respetan el valor cristiano de que toda vida importa\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">Ejemplos de no infracci\u00f3n:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cLas leyes impulsadas por el partido pol\u00edtico de Jake Frons para proteger sus propios intereses me perturban.

En primer lugar, hacerlo puede intensificar los conflictos y afectar la capacidad de nuestras reuniones para seguir siendo un lugar seguro donde todos los sobrevivientes puedan compartir. Tambi\u00e9n puede fomentar que las personas tomen partido. En segundo lugar, los rumores y las cr\u00edticas limitan nuestro crecimiento y tienden a reforzar sentimientos de victimizaci\u00f3n. La triangulaci\u00f3n y la dependencia emocional excesiva suelen surgir al haber crecido en familias abusivas y disfuncionales. La triangulaci\u00f3n a menudo refleja un deseo inconsciente de que otras personas nos rescaten de nuestras dificultades. En la dependencia emocional excesiva, los l\u00edmites entre nosotros y los dem\u00e1s tienden a desdibujarse. En ese estado, los sobrevivientes pueden convertir a otras personas en representaciones de relaciones que a\u00fan tienen asuntos sin resolver. Por ejemplo, una amiga mayor dentro de SIA puede convertirse en la madre que nunca tuvimos. Cuando esa persona no act\u00faa de acuerdo con nuestra idea interna de c\u00f3mo deber\u00eda comportarse una madre amorosa, podemos activarnos emocionalmente y proyectar sobre ella los problemas no resueltos que tenemos con nuestra madre real. Podemos volvernos muy cr\u00edticos y sentir la necesidad de decirles a otros que esa persona no es segura. En ambos casos mantenemos internamente una postura de victimizaci\u00f3n. A menudo evitamos llevar nuestras emociones de regreso a los acontecimientos hist\u00f3ricos que las originaron y separar la carga emocional del pasado de lo que ocurre en el presente. No liberamos la energ\u00eda emocional reprimida ni la hipervigilancia que alimentan nuestros recuerdos emocionales. Adem\u00e1s, nunca resolvemos nuestras relaciones con las personas con quienes realmente necesitamos hacerlo, impidiendo que dichas relaciones evolucionen hacia v\u00ednculos m\u00e1s sanos y completos. Tampoco aprendemos a establecer l\u00edmites saludables ni a comunicarnos durante los conflictos de formas respetuosas y constructivas para todas las personas involucradas. En efecto, seguimos limitando nuestro crecimiento, ya que los rumores y las cr\u00edticas vuelven inseguras nuestras reuniones y perpet\u00faan una sensaci\u00f3n de inseguridad dentro de nosotros mismos.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong

Como resultado, interrumpir a alguien durante su participaci\u00f3n en una reuni\u00f3n puede ser profundamente activador. Sin embargo, si una persona est\u00e1 infringiendo una directriz, el secretario o anfitri\u00f3n de la reuni\u00f3n puede necesitar intervenir antes de que termine de compartir si otras personas presentes est\u00e1n siendo activadas emocionalmente. Este tipo de interrupci\u00f3n solo ocurre cuando la persona est\u00e1 compartiendo detalles muy expl\u00edcitos que infringen la Directriz 1, o cuando describe detalles gr\u00e1ficos de abuso sin haber dado previamente una advertencia de contenido potencialmente activador. Asimismo, si una participaci\u00f3n supera el l\u00edmite de tiempo establecido por m\u00e1s de treinta segundos, es apropiado intervenir para evitar que una sola persona monopolice el tiempo destinado a compartir.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">No Comentar la Participaci\u00f3n de Otra Persona:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Durante la infancia, muchos sobrevivientes fueron ridiculizados repetidamente por sus opiniones e ideas. Con frecuencia se les dec\u00eda que sus pensamientos estaban equivocados y que \u00fanicamente sus abusadores sab\u00edan qu\u00e9 era correcto. Adem\u00e1s, es com\u00fan que los sobrevivientes hayan sido lastimados o castigados verbal, f\u00edsica o sexualmente despu\u00e9s de que sus abusadores hicieran comentarios sobre sus palabras o acciones. Por estas razones evitamos comentar lo que otras personas han compartido y evitamos utilizar sus nombres cuando participamos.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">No Dar Consejos ni Intentar Consolar a Otras Personas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Tampoco damos consejos ni tocamos a otras personas para consolarlas sin pedir permiso primero. Al crecer, a muchos sobrevivientes constantemente se les dec\u00eda qu\u00e9 deb\u00edan o no deb\u00edan hacer. Por eso, los consejos no solicitados pueden resultar como activadores y hacer que una persona que ya est\u00e1 emocionalmente alterada sienta que quien ofrece el consejo est\u00e1 actuando de manera abusiva.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Tambi\u00e9n evitamos consolar a otras personas comentando sus participaciones despu\u00e9s de que hayan expresado emociones intensas, porque muchas veces los sobrevivientes sienten que se les est\u00e1 diciendo que se callen, que lo superen o que se les est\u00e1 teniendo l\u00e1stima. A veces, incluso ofrecer un pa\u00f1uelo sin preguntar puede sentirse como un mensaje de \u201cvete\u201d o \u201cdeja de expresar lo que sientes\u201d. Adem\u00e1s, en ocasiones quien intenta consolar lo hace desde una din\u00e1mica de dependencia emocional, tratando de silenciar los sentimientos de quien comparte porque no desea experimentar su propia incomodidad. Lamentablemente, el consuelo tambi\u00e9n puede resultar activador por otra raz\u00f3n: muchos sobrevivientes s\u00ed recibieron cierto grado de consuelo durante el abuso. Puede que el padre o madre que permit\u00eda el abuso, o que no participaba directamente en \u00e9l, ofreciera consuelo, pero no impidiera que el abuso continuara.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>En otros casos, cuando el abusador presentaba identidades m\u00faltiples o una fragmentaci\u00f3n interna severa, pod\u00eda abusar del ni\u00f1o en un momento y luego, desde otra identidad o estado de personalidad, ofrecerle consuelo. Asimismo, muchos sobrevivientes cuyo abuso no implic\u00f3 dolor f\u00edsico pueden haber sentido que su abusador los amaba o se preocupaba por ellos, y haber temido perder ese afecto si hablaban sobre el abuso o intentaban detenerlo. Por todas estas razones, los intentos de consolar o cuidar a otras personas pueden resultar activadores, y por eso los evitamos. Ten en cuenta que s\u00ed podemos pedir permiso para brindar consuelo entre participaciones o despu\u00e9s de una reuni\u00f3n, pero el consuelo no debe ofrecerse sin que la persona potencialmente receptora haya dado su consentimiento. Por supuesto, amistades de larga trayectoria dentro de SIA pueden decidir que ya no necesitan seguir esta pr\u00e1ctica porque han desarrollado una relaci\u00f3n de confianza y seguridad mutua. Aun as\u00ed, cualquier sobreviviente puede decir: \u201cHoy prefiero que me pidas permiso antes de ofrecerme consuelo\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">Ejemplos de infracci\u00f3n:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">No interrumpir:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cDeja de quejarte y lamentarte\u201d. \u201cEst\u00e1s infringiendo una directriz de seguridad\u201d. \u201cNo sabes de qu\u00e9 est\u00e1s hablando\u201d. \u201cDeja de hablar, ya te pasaste del l\u00edmite de tiempo\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">No comentar la participaci\u00f3n de otra persona:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cYo ya no me preocupo por cosas peque\u00f1as como los reci\u00e9n llegados\u201d.

Evitamos convertir el presente en el pasado. Las palabras, tonos de voz y respuestas de otros sobrevivientes pueden hacernos sentir como si estuvi\u00e9ramos tratando con abusadores. Por ello, alentamos a los sobrevivientes a no tratar a otros sobrevivientes como si fueran abusadores. Si alguien en una reuni\u00f3n virtual nos activa emocionalmente, aprendemos a manejar responsablemente las emociones que surgen: alej\u00e1ndonos de nuestros dispositivos electr\u00f3nicos cuando sea necesario, estableciendo l\u00edmites con quienes nos activan, llevando los sentimientos despertados de regreso a las experiencias originales de abuso, consolando a nuestros ni\u00f1os interiores y evitando actuar sobre el impulso de difundir rumores que pueda surgir como consecuencia de haber sido activados por otro sobreviviente.<\/span><br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">Explicaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Como sobrevivientes, no hay forma de evitar sentirnos activados emocionalmente en las reuniones de SIA. En ocasiones, las historias y experiencias de otras personas nos ayudar\u00e1n a sentirnos m\u00e1s cerca de ellas y menos solos. En otras, cuando los sobrevivientes comparten sus experiencias y sentimientos, esto abrir\u00e1 puertas hacia nuestras propias emociones. Sentiremos nuevamente lo que sentimos en el pasado.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Puede activarse la hipervigilancia y pueden surgir respuestas relacionadas con el TEPT. En esos momentos, es importante que aprendamos a cuidarnos de maneras saludables y que nos brinden apoyo. Cuando estamos activados emocionalmente y atrapados en recuerdos emocionales o experiencias relacionadas con el TEPT, es f\u00e1cil percibir a personas seguras como posibles abusadores y, como consecuencia, reaccionar de forma emocionalmente impulsiva o agresiva en nuestras respuestas verbales. Cuando estamos activados, puede resultar dif\u00edcil concentrarnos, escuchar con claridad y precisi\u00f3n, o recordar que estamos a salvo. En momentos como estos, existen muchas formas de practicar el autocuidado. Si la imagen o la voz de otra persona nos resulta perturbadora, podemos silenciar nuestros dispositivos electr\u00f3nicos o apartar la vista de la pantalla. Si estamos en una reuni\u00f3n presencial, est\u00e1 bien salir de la sala para cuidarnos, incluso si alguien se encuentra compartiendo en ese momento. Siempre que experimentamos emociones intensas relacionadas con algo que ocurre en el presente, existe una buena posibilidad de que est\u00e9n emergiendo sentimientos reprimidos y no resueltos vinculados a nuestro abuso. En SIA tenemos un dicho: \u201cSi la reacci\u00f3n es desproporcionada, probablemente proviene de la historia\u201d. En otras palabras, est\u00e1n surgiendo emociones que tuvimos que reprimir durante la infancia y que nunca fueron consoladas por nuestros cuidadores de la manera en que debieron haberlo sido. Por ello, nos corresponde aprender a consolarnos a nosotros mismos y a nuestros ni\u00f1os interiores.*<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Si bien es importante aprender a establecer l\u00edmites saludables, dentro del contexto de la reuni\u00f3n todos somos iguales. Por ello, aprendemos a cuidarnos a nosotros mismos en lugar de pedir que otras personas cambien su tono de voz, el color de la ropa que llevan puesta, el lugar desde el que participan o las palabras que utilizan para describir sus experiencias. De la misma manera, cuando vamos a compartir detalles gr\u00e1ficos o expl\u00edcitos, o utilizar lenguaje inapropiado, ofrecemos advertencias de contenido potencialmente activador para ayudar a otras personas a practicar un autocuidado saludable. Como suele decirse en recuperaci\u00f3n, \u00abla recuperaci\u00f3n es un trabajo interior\u00bb. Esto significa que no podemos controlar completamente las circunstancias externas y que debemos aprender a acompa\u00f1arnos en el dolor que determinadas situaciones pueden despertar en nosotros durante las reuniones.

Their purpose is to provide survivors with a framework for communicating in healthy, functional ways that are considerate of themselves and other survivors. Why? Simply stated, growing up we were not taught healthy ways of dealing with or communicating about our pain and conflict. When triggered it is easy to forget about mutually affirming communication transactions.<\/span><br>\n<span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Please don&#8217;t worry about not remembering a guideline. If you accidentally cross a guideline because you&#8217;re new, triggered or dissociated, the moderator will gently reread the guideline after your share is finished. Moreover, because it is the responsibility of all meeting members to maintain the safety of our rooms; if a moderator\/host\/secretary is unable to read a guideline, any member of the meeting may gently ask the moderator to reread the guideline after a share is completed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Additionally, when giving a trigger alert for a possible guideline infraction (EG.: swearing, sharing highly graphic abuse events, quoting outside literature) please let listeners know what you are giving a trigger alert for, and pause for a few seconds so that people have time to take care of themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Finally, members who have been drinking, getting high or who are overly medicated are asked to refrain from sharing, and simply listen to the discussion.<\/span><br>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 14pt 0pt 4pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Guideline 1: No Perpetrators<\/strong><br>\n&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Perpetrators are not allowed at SIA meetings. We are here to heal from the wounds of sexual abuse by sharing our experience, strength and hope.

The reason for this is simple: our space is meant to be one where survivors may heal from the wounds of underage sexual abuse. When survivors are required to share space with those who have been sexually abusive as adults, fear prevents feelings of safety and trust from emerging, thus making it difficult if not impossible to trust that meetings are a safe place to open up wounds and express the impact of childhood sexual abuse. While many feel that adult perpetrators deserve a safe place to heal from their sexual abuse, SIA meetings are not that place. Note, talking about what one was forced to do in a general fashion as a child or teen in the midst of the abusive family\/church\/school environment is not considered an infraction of this guideline if a trigger alert is provided, nor is talking about being trained\/socialized to engage in general forms of acting out and regretting\/struggling with that form of sexual behavior a violation of the guideline. That said, talking about abuse we initiated\/did to others as a teen is not a subject for an SIA general share meeting. It is appropriate though for sharing with a sponsor, recovery partner or therapist.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;

Many times, upon hearing another\u2019s share at a meeting, we identify because we have had similar experiences. That said, we do not name that person when identifying for a simple reason: doing so may be triggering to the individual named. After sharing, doors often open to deeper feelings and thoughts; consequently, individuals may feel raw, challenged and in pain. Naming another, rather than the idea may set off further emotional flashbacks. Often, after sharing as children, our names were used prior to being punished or hurt. Equally bad, our names were often used during our sexual abuse. Further, using another\u2019s name when identifying may be viewed as dismissive or disagreeing with the person who first shared, especially if the identifying person had a different response, need or way of dealing with the idea\/feeling\/experience being shared about.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Infraction Examples:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cYah, it\u2019s like Joe said, some days it\u2019s hard to get out of bed.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cI agree with Joe; it\u2019s hard to get out of bed some mornings.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Non-infraction Examples:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cAs a survivor it\u2019s hard to get out of bed some days.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cI identify with what\u2019s been said earlier about how difficult it is to get out of bed some mornings.

Moreover, many of us have built in defense mechanisms to avoid taking ownership of our feelings, thoughts and statements. We do not speak in the \u201cyou\u201d voice for several reasons. First, speaking in the \u201cyou\u201d voice tends to prevent ownership of one\u2019s feelings and thoughts (and many times resembles how our abusers communicated with us). Second, when using \u201cYou\u201d or \u201cWe,\u201d the speaking survivor can easily trigger others in the room who believe that the sharing survivor is trying to tell them what to do and control their behaviors. When triggered and raw \u201cYou and We\u201d can feel emotionally abusive, shaming, and can easily cause a triggered listener to believe that the sharing individual is trying to control them or is behaving like a perpetrator.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;

Many confuse sharing about one\u2019s practice of another healing modality\/approach, or referring to another 12-step fellowship one is a member of with crossing of this guideline. It is not. That person does not need to give a trigger-alert about \u201creading or quoting\u201d non-SIA literature. Similarly, since survivors tend to agree that our defensive protection behaviors are a direct result of our childhood abuse, there is no issue with talking about our membership in other 12-step programs, or struggles with acting out alcoholically, codependently, etcetera, and no need to provide a trigger alert if you share that you\u2019re a member of another 12-Step fellowship. If, however, one is naming advice from another 12-Step fellowship about how to conduct oneself a trigger warning is required. Further, when talking about non-SIA literature, we tie it in to our survivor challenges because we keep the focus of sharing at meetings on our recovery from childhood sexual abuse.

Our traditions remind us that everyone\u2019s needs are of equal value and that the unity of the group takes precedence over certain needs for self-expression by individual members. Therefore, we do not criticize groups of individuals. We may say what a group is doing and immediately tie it back in to our abuse by sharing how a group triggers us, or how they remind us of our treatment by our perpetrators, but anger and criticism need to be directed at our abusers, not general groups\/categories of people. This makes the room safe for all survivors to share and grow. Moreover, learning to deal with anger\/criticism (especially if it\u2019s intense) by taking triggered feelings back to the original abuse experiences is invaluable in helping us to learn to how to walk through emotional flashbacks and PTSD-triggers. Often, it\u2019s frightening to return feelings to their source because it\u2019s like telling our abusers that we\u2019re angry with them. When criticizing others in the present, often a childlike part of our psyches may be triggered, but it feels safer to criticize folk in the present rather than express the feelings towards those that hurt us. Part of our growth from victims to thrivers requires that we learn how to return the events, triggers and stirred-up emotions back to the original abuse experience.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Infraction Examples:<\/strong><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\"><span style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cPresident Jake Frons and everyone belonging to his political party are selfish fools and need to be eliminated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cThose who believe that lives can be taken while in the womb fail to adhere to the Christian value that every life matters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Non-infraction Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cJake Frons\u2019 political party\u2019s legislation to protect their interests disturbs me.

First, it may lead to intensification of conflicts, which in turn can come back to hurt our meeting\u2019s ability to serve as a place for all survivors to share safely. It can lead to side-taking. Second, gossiping and criticizing others limits our ability to grow and tends to reinforce feelings of victimization. Codependent triangulation and enmeshment result from growing up in dysfunctional, abusive families. Triangulation often represents a misplaced desire to have others rescue us from our challenges. With enmeshment, borders between ourselves and others tend to disappear. In this place, survivors will often turn others into beings they have unresolved issues with. For instance, an older female friend in SIA may become the mom we never had and when she doesn\u2019t behave like our internalized notion of how a loving mom is supposed to behave, we become triggered and dump unresolved real world mom issues onto our older friend. We may become harshly critical and need to tell others that the friend isn\u2019t safe. In both instances we maintain an internal stance of victimage. We often avoid taking our emotional charges back to the historic events that caused them and thereby separating the past\u2019s emotional charge from the present. We fail to release the repressed emotional energy and hypervigilance that gives rise to our emotional flashbacks. Further, we never work out our relationships with the people with whom we need to work them out, and thereby prevent them from growing into healthy, more complete relationships. We never learn to set healthy boundaries, or learn to communicate our way through conflict in ways that are affirming for each participant. In effect, we continue to stay small as gossip and criticism makes our meetings unsafe and perpetuates a lack of safety in our psyches.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;

Moreover, the only one who has a right to share their story with others is the person to whom the story belongs. Although we learn to no longer isolate and experience life challenges by ourselves, the very fact that we can count on others at meetings to respect our privacy is key to building internal and external safety and trust. It\u2019s difficult for safety and trust to grow because many of us were repeatedly shamed by our abusers when they told stories about us to other family members and friends. That is why this safety guideline exists. Further, if you wish, feel free to let SIA group members know that if they run into you outside of meetings, when you\u2019re with other people, if you want them to say hi, or acknowledge you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Infraction Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Landline Phone messages: <\/strong><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cHi it\u2019s Jill calling from SIA\/program.

Interrupting a share at a meeting can be highly triggering as a result. Note, if a person is breaking a guideline the meeting secretary or host may need to jump in if people in the room are becoming triggered, rather than waiting until the person finishes their share. This type of interruption only occurs though if the person sharing is being highly explicit and violating guideline 1, or if the graphic details of abuse are very vivid and no trigger warning was given. Also, if another\u2019s share is exceeding the time limit by more than half a minute, it is alright to interrupt so that one person does not dominate the sharing time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">No Commenting on Another\u2019s Share:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Growing up, many survivors were repeatedly ridiculed for their opinions and ideas. Often children were told their ideas were wrong, and that only their abusers knew what was right. Further, it is also common that survivors were hurt and punished verbally, physically and sexually directly after their abusers made comments about the survivor\u2019s words or actions. This is why we avoid commenting on others\u2019 shares and using their names when we share.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">No Giving Advice or Attempting to Comfort Others<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Again, we don\u2019t give advice or touch others to provide comfort without asking for permission first. Growing up, survivors are often told what to do or not do, which is why unsolicited advice can be highly triggering, and cause already stirred-up individuals to feel that the person offering advice is behaving abusively.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">We don\u2019t attempt to comfort others by commenting on shares after intense emotions are expressed because many times survivors feel they\u2019re being told to be quiet, get over it, or feel that they\u2019re being pitied. Sometimes, offering a tissue without asking can feel like being told to go away, or being told to become silent. Moreover, sometimes the person who wants to give comfort is doing so codependently in order to silence the sharer\u2019s feelings because the person offering the comfort doesn\u2019t wish to experience their own discomfort. Sadly, comforting can be triggering for yet another reason: often survivors did receive some comfort. The enabling parent or non-sexually abusive parent may have offered comfort, but then didn\u2019t stop the abuse from continuing to occur. Alternately, if one\u2019s abuser was multiple or severely fragmented internally, the same abuser may have at one moment abused the child and then, after switching to an alternate personality, comforted the child. Further, many survivors whose abuse was not physically painful, may have felt their abuser loved them or cared about them, and that they\u2019d lose their abuser\u2019s affection if they stopped the abuse or spoke up about it. For all these reasons, comforting\/caretaking can be triggering and that\u2019s why we avoid it.&nbsp; Please note, we can ask for permission to provide comfort between shares or after a meeting, but comforting does not occur without permission being granted by the potential recipient. Of course, long-time SIA friends may choose to dispense with this idea as they have come to feel safe and comfortable in their relationship, but even if this happens it\u2019s okay for survivors to say, \u201cToday, ask for permission before offering comfort.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Infraction Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">No Interrupting:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cQuit moaning and groaning.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re breaking a safety guideline.\u201d \u201cYou don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about.\u201d \u201cStop talking, you\u2019re way past the time limit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">No Commenting on Another\u2019s Share:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cI don\u2019t sweat small stuff any more like a newcomer.\u201d (after a newcomer has just shared)<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cIf I was Steve, this is what I\u2019d do . . .\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">No Giving Advice or Attempting to Comfort Others:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cWhat I\u2019d do if I was faced with Bell\u2019s work situation is . . .\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cOh, here\u2019s a tissue.

If someone in the virtual room is triggering, we&nbsp;learn to deal with the evoked emotions responsibly by stepping away from our electronic devices when needed, setting boundaries with anyone who triggers us, taking evoked feelings back to the original abuse experiences, comforting our inner children, and refraining from acting upon the desire to gossip that may arise due to being triggered by a fellow survivor.<\/span><br>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Explanation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">As survivors there is no way to avoid being triggered at SIA meetings. At times others stories and experiences will help us to feel closer to others and not alone. At other times, when survivors share experiences and feelings, the act will open up doorways to our feelings. We will feel what we felt in the past. Hypervigilance may be activated; PTSD responses may occur. At these times it\u2019s important that we learn to care for ourselves in healthy, supportive ways. When triggered and lost in emotional flashbacks and\/or PTSD experiences it\u2019s easy to turn safe others into potential abusers, and in turn become emotionally reactive\/abusive in our verbal responses. It\u2019s difficult to focus; it\u2019s difficult to hear clearly and accurately; it\u2019s difficult to remember that we are safe when triggered. At times like this, there are many ways to engage in self-care. If another\u2019s image or vocal quality is disturbing, we mute our electronic devices or turn away from our screens. If in an in-person meeting it\u2019s alright to leave the room to take care of oneself, even if it\u2019s in the middle of a share. Whenever strong feelings occur about the present, there\u2019s a good chance that repressed, unresolved feelings from our abuse are emerging. In SIA we have a saying, \u201cIf it\u2019s hysterical, it\u2019s historical.\u201d In other words, emotions are emerging that had to be stuffed as children, and that were never comforted by our caregivers as they should have been. Thus, it falls on us to learn to comfort ourselves and our inner child(ren). *<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">While it is important to learn to set healthy boundaries with others, in the context of the meeting all of us are equals. Therefore, we learn to take care of ourselves rather than ask others to change their tone of voice, color of clothes they may be wearing, the place that they are communicating from, or the words they use to describe their experiences.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Similarly, if we are going to use graphic\/explicit details, or use four-lettered language we give trigger warnings to assist others with healthy self-care. Recovery is an inside job as some like to say. This means that we cannot control outside situations totally and must learn to show up for the pain that external situations may evoke within us at meetings. If this were not so, SIA would have a Do and Don\u2019t list that literally could be pages in length.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">&nbsp;*&nbsp; &nbsp; See Appendix 8, Step 1<\/strong><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">: \u201cLearning to Live with PTSD &amp; Emotional Flashback Triggers Inventory\u201d in the SIA Steps Workbook <\/span><em style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:italic; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Out of the Night, Into the Light <\/em><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">(now available in pre-release) for more information about how to communicate supportively with ourselves when experiencing emotional flashbacks &amp; PTSD triggers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Infraction Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cYou need to quit looking at me when sharing.

At SIA meetings we do not touch others without asking permission first. Why? Many times, safe, comforting touch preceded sexual abuse incidents. Moreover, when emotionally raw after sharing a painful memory, touch can be highly triggering. Therefore, we do not touch without permission.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">At virtual meetings we keep electronic devices muted except when sharing. Often, it\u2019s difficult for survivors to articulate what they want to share. Unexpected noise, distracting movements, provocative screen savers and recording others without their permission can be both triggering and create confusion during another\u2019s share. Similarly, talking on the phone or to a person in your room while another is sharing at a zoom meeting can also be triggering due to feelings of not being heard. Please stop your live video streaming and keep your devices muted if you need to take care of yourself in ways that may be distracting to the person sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Infraction Examples:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Repeatedly forgetting to mute, eating during a person\u2019s share without turning off video stream, talking to others in your home while another is sharing without muting, taking pictures, picking your nose, displaying yourself in skimpy attire, and touching others without permission.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Non-infraction Examples:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Turning on or off one\u2019s screen saver because one needs to leave one\u2019s computer, answer the door, etcetera.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Asking if touch is okay prior to doing so.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 14pt 0pt 4pt; text-align: left;\"><br>\n<strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Guideline 12: Maintaining Relationship Boundaries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">We refrain from making romantic or sexual advances towards any member.<\/span><br>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Explanation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;  margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Simply stated, children who are sexually abused need freedom in order to process trauma events and feelings.

That said, there may be an exception. If two survivors are already long-term friends, and both have worked the steps in SIA, and they have both discovered that they\u2019re willing to enter into a romantic relationship, it\u2019s up to those two individuals to make this decision. That said, it\u2019s highly recommended that after such a decision is made, that those two individuals start attending separate SIA meetings. Why? Survivors need safe spaces to process their relationships. Moreover, if the two people are attending the same meeting and are experiencing relationship difficulties with one another or have decided to end the relationship, it can interfere with meeting safety. Often, folks want others to choose sides. Moreover, if the two survivors who are breaking up are at the same meeting and not getting along there, it can make the room feel very unsafe for other survivors because many times it was after parental conflict that abuse occurred.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 14pt; margin-bottom: 4pt; text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:13.999999999999998pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:700; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">What to do if Guidelines for Safe Sharing are Not Followed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">We strive for meeting safety with our Guidelines, yet practice grace by providing a protocol for Guideline infractions.

Rather, the guideline is being reread to help everyone learn about how to communicate safely with other survivors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">If the same guideline is repeatedly crossed, a Group Conscience Safety Check may occur.<\/span><br>\n<span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">We recognize that there may be situations not covered by these Guidelines. When situations occur that repeatedly create a lack of safety on the line, or when a member continues to cross existing guidelines repeatedly, the person creating disruptions may be asked to leave until such a time as the individual is able to own their behavior and agree not to engage in this behavior again at SIA WSC virtual meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap\">Lastly, a gentle reminder: as survivors we may walk into this meeting feeling dissociated, triggered, emotionally raw, vulnerable, devastated, and confused. When enforcing these guidelines, we need to be gentle with each other and ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38;
