Telling It Like It Is

This is a sign in the Day Room of the Sexual Trauma Unit at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital. When I read it, I knew that I was finally in the right place.

They are survivors. If you don't have respect

for their strength you can't be of any help. It's

a privilege that they let you in - there's no

reason they should trust you - none. You can't

know their terror - it's your worst nightmare

come true - a nightmare from which you never

awaken. It's unrelenting. There has been no

safety - no one, no time, no place, no thing -

All was tainted. Hope was obliterated - time

and time again. That they are in your office is

in itself a supreme act of valor.
