@GlennHampson Hello! I am thank you. About to head into my therapy room to warm it up for the day. Hope you’re really well. 🌻

A horrible but extremely important study here. I have said for years that we don’t place enough focus on just how many sex offenders are in our society, which increases victim prejudice and victim blaming. We always hear ‘1 in 4 girls will be abused’ or ‘1 in 3 women will be raped’ - but we never hear ‘1 in X men are rapists’. This study of 1900 Australian men follows the similar studies in USA and UK. Key findings here: 1 in 10 men admitted to sexually abusing a child 1 in 6 men reported being sexually attracted to children 1 in 15 men said they would have sexual contact with a child under 14 if they wouldn’t get caught The men who offended against children were more likely to be professionals, married, earn higher incomes and work with children. Whilst we might not like this stats and results, we cannot continue in our sector without accurate estimates of how many people are abusive and dangerous. All of our stats are based on victims, but no one wants to talk about the sheer amount of abusers - millions of them in our societies. Work like this is vital, in my opinion, to end victim blaming. If there are millions of these offenders, how can any person or agency blame the victim? How can they claim they should have seen it coming? Or should have known? Or should have protected themselves more? THIS is the real reason why sexual violence and child abuse is so common - not because victims have ‘vulnerabilities’, but because there are millions of perpetrators in every corner of our lives.

It’s the end of the week long intensive yoga for trauma teacher training. A few more intensive weekends of learning. So excited to learn something new to bring into my somatic practice for myself and clients. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Nostalgic while on the tram passing Prince Patrick St, @trevoryoung! 🚃

@annie_parker Thank YOU!

@trevoryoung Once a notebook nerd, always a notebook nerd. #notebooknerdappreciation

Life's too short for crappy pads and notebooks, eh. These Margin notebooks by Life Stationery are handmade in Japan - simply, they are the best notebooks I have ever used - high quality paper for smoother writing, glue-bound by hand. Notebook nerds will understand 😎

@annie_parker Some days your Fred videos are just the glimmer of joy needed right at the moment of needing it. Thank you both. 💜

Have moved in and set up my new therapy space. ✨ Enough room for small groups and a couple of yoga mats … have also begun my yoga for trauma teacher training! 🧘🏻‍♀️

@DianaDJ7 Oh no. Hope they got everyone out. 😢

@KimberleyL i'm hearing it's a 3 storey residential building and the roof has already collapsed ☹️

Redfern fire update.

Non stop sirens past Redfern station for 20 mins so I check it out and this! Hope no one is hurt.

@KimberleyL I was first off the plane last week and last to get my baggage in Sydney, cos of course had to declare I had soil on my shoes etc etc 🤦😂

The baggage carousel at the airport has a Hunger Games vibe about it…

@ICT_GURU I did… and then declared a dress I bought for my 40th and they put me in the dog lane 😂

@KimberleyL 😂 hope you survived! 🙏🍀
