Where my response validates your response
The model is designed to accomodate triggered responses
without invalidating other's responses.
the model avoids generalities
let us not argue from the specific to the general
whilst one expects clusters to appear
there would be multiple clusters where there are points of commonality
where members differ on other scales and dimensions.
The model is undergirded by philosophy
Every response has a place on a scale
every response has an opposite response and in between responses
Non predictive
The model is designed
to follow the survivor
without using statistics predictively.
eg
on a scale of pre sexual abuse would you rate yourself as
male heterosexual female heterosexual LGBTIQ or +
the response would go on ones dimension for each gender
Questions such as 'Did sexual abuse affect your sexuality"? yes or no each going to its own dimesnsions and scales
how do you define your sexuality now
H LGBTIQ+
or self defining eg heterosexual with right brain re experiencing of male on male sexual abuse ( would go to a new dimension)
eg intrusive memories
confusing feelings
Programmers - I suggest optional sub routines
eg nature of the sexual abuse ( see below)
all responses might go to questions about right brain re- experiencing
An example attitudes to religion
What is your response to the term "religion ? "
Each response would go to it's own dimension and sub dimensions from position of a scale
Anger and rage
goes to scales and dimensions
eg Do you blame God?
Where you sexually abused
by a Priest or religous leader?
did a religous institution fail to protect you?
did it cover up the abuse?
open ended questions
for free flow
secular
without triggered responses
eg religion doesn't exist
no interest
Positive response
Directed to scales and dimensions
eg personal faith in God
or religous ritual
or both
God helps me
or I need to obey His commandments
or a mix
Optional starting points
Each response goes to its own dimension
Multiple responses are ok
there would need to be links during each dimension.
Opportunity to join
an 8 week programme
run by a support group.
Other
an open ended question
followed by responses
with links to other responses
with comonalities
A desire to recover
eg tired of intrusive memories
(flash backs)
wanting my life back
smilar responses
A desire to change
eg to resolve the cause / trigger of anger
or to heal the source of the pain
to break an addiction
eg addictions to numb the pain.
or to not be overwhelmed
or addicted to
the perp triggered auto body pleasure system
a memory bubble surfaces
raising questions
and issues to explore
Don't try to fix me
to survive
to thrive
fix me
heal me
To recover
to recover
to be healed
Are triggers an intrusion or an opportunity
new dimension
