RUPERT AND RITUALS

As therapists, my colleagues and I have worked with many survivors of ritual abuse. Their memories and stories are agonizing to hear. Many of the abused have become multiple personalities in an effort to dissociate and leave painful memories behind. All have been deeply hurt. Our professional organizations run training seminars regularly for therapists, teaching them how to work with these survivors.

Ritual abuse is very real and involves children, usually drugged in order to tell “confusing” stories to adults. Get into the real world--a world we have to deal with every day.
