Sensible Film Therapy: People hurt us, so people must help us
Following the screening of "Rewind", dir. Sasha Joseph Neulinger.
In Polish
Partners: Sens, Filmoterapia.pl, Empowering Children Foundation
The event is organized in cooperation with U.S. Embassy in Poland.
Childhood sexual abuse is one thing; marital rape is another; mobbing in art schools is yet another subject. There’s a range of topics we could discuss: why a lot of people are only able to talk about their trauma many years after the fact; dissociation or cutting off difficult experiences; inherited trauma; victim shaming and victim blaming… and the fact that recovery is faster if even one person believes, supports, and assists a victim of trauma.
