The human body is made up of several different parts. Each of these parts are designed to function and respond in a specific way. External and Internal stimulus will cause these parts to function and respond by design. Your eyes are designed to water/tear as a result of cutting onions—the acid in the onions irritates the nerves around the eyes causing it to water. Some body parts are designed to make you feel aroused or excited when they are touched because they have lots of nerve endings. Those areas are called your erogenous zones and the biggest erogenous zones for most people is their ge***al area (the V***a, Cl****is, L***a, Va**na, A**s, Perineum, P***s, Sc***um, and Prostate).
Just because it felt good does not make the abuse your fault, your private areas are designed to feel good when touched or otherwise stimulated. Some perpetrators use this fact to manipulate children into believing that the abuse was their fault because their bodies responded and to also convince themselves that their acts are justified.

There is an additional shame and isolation that some parents of abused children feel making it hard to talk to family and friends. Therapy creates a safe space not only for children to process their abuse but for parents to explore answers to their questions, process their underline fears behind these questions and explore how best to help their children. Reach out for help, you don’t have to do it alone!

No parent can ever imagine their child being s*xually abused and no parent is ever prepared to deal with their child being s*xually abused. But parents can take steps to empower their children with information that could potentially safeguard them from victimization. Talk openly and often to your children in age appropriate ways about s*x, about their bodies, boundaries, and empower them to speak up. Talking about s*x does not make children want to go have s*x. Talking about s*x empowers children with knowledge that makes them less likely to be abused and more likely to disclose if abuse happens.

Adult victims of childhood s*xual abuse: If/when it feels safe talk about it with your significant others. Let them know you were abused as a child. Talk about your views on s*x and how the abuse impacts it, talk about what triggers you and your limitations and include them on your journey to get your power back.

“Head, shoulders, knees, and PENIS”
“Head, shoulders, knees, and VAGINA”

It’s not a cookie, a little man, a pocket book, a flower, a pee-pee, a buddy, a winky, a hooha, a dick, a sausage, a cupcake, a p***y, tatas, t**s, ti***es, bo***es etc…..It’s a Va**na. It’s a P***s. They are breasts. Children need to be taught the correct anatomical names for their private parts as soon as they can talk. Young children are inundated with nursery rhymes to teach them about everything except about their private parts and safety issues around it. Pet names could jeopardize children’s safety and make it difficult for them to speak up when they’ve been abused. Having pet names for their private parts inadvertently teaches kids that their private parts are places we shouldn’t speak about and this could potentially reinforce the need for silence when they are touched inappropriately. A child will be much more likely to be listened to and taken seriously if they use the correct names rather than pet names. A teacher may discount or be confused by, “Mr So and So touched my cookie” but “Mr. So and So touched my Va**na” commands immediate attention. Children that use the correct names are less likely to be targeted by perpetrators because these children are empowered!
