Incest and Its Impact on Survivors

Self - Awareness Q&A

Beschreibung

This book is a small collection of topics on various consequences of trauma and daily challenges faced by survivors of sexual violence within the family. In the context of family, this means from childhood onward. The book also recounts part of my healing journey, which would not have been possible without the invaluable practical knowledge and unparalleled dedication of the victim protection organization "El Faro" Berlin. Through active work with other survivors, I have gained knowledge and experience over time, that provide a small insight into the full extent of such complex trauma as sexual violence perpetrated by one's own parents and close confidants. Every fate is unique and often involves complex personal issues and long-term consequences. Incest typically involves developmental trauma, which often leads to further danger and violence in adulthood. Therefore, breaking off contact and protecting victims are crucial to achieving a safe and self-determined life. The experiences described are based on the concept of "help for self-help" and offer suggestions for improving quality of life, fostering security, and developing a deeper understanding of these experiences. This book is intended for survivors, interested parties, and dedicated helpers.

Marion Princk is an incest survivor - the abuse ended in 2006 with her father¿s death at age 31. Until then, she had been fighting unconsciously, was closer to death than life, and hid this behind a carefully crafted lifelong illusion of herself. Because even as a toddler, she learned that revealing any information to the outside world would mean even more hell, violence, and fear. Now that the main perpetrator was dead, the cruel memories could no longer be held back. She was faced with the choice of freeing herself through suicide or building her life according to her own rules for the first time. Her conscious struggle for life, identity, and self-determination in a world previously dominated by perpetrators began. It was an extremely painful journey with incredible highs and lows, because the protective shield of repression could no longer be maintained. Ms. Princk decided to seek help from a victim protection program. Her life was turned upside down. She lost her professional career, her friends, her entire life, which she had built up with all her strength despite everything, far away from her double life as a sex slave and her father's "replacement wife." Today, 18 years later, she understands why she had suffered under many seemingly indefinable psychological, physical, and interpersonal problems, and why she inexplicably experienced similar violence and sexual assault outside her family time and again. Adaptation and a deep-rooted fear of death had shaped her life among sexual offenders. She could only pretend to be self-confident, because deep down she knew that if anyone approached her in a similar way, exerting pressure, violence, or even sexuality, she would be unable to act. Even loving feelings triggered dangerous, perpetrator-loyal trauma reactions that saved her life as a child and for a long time during the abuse. Now it was a matter of protecting this trauma-induced vulnerability and, ideally, learning to heal it. However, since her mentally ill
