Jeannie Riseman, a name known throughout the survivor community of Ritual Abuse, Mind Control and Torture is an activist, survivor, speaker, and author. And most importantly, let us not forget mother and grandmother. She is the former editor (1999-2008) of the Survivorship Journal and bi-monthly Survivorship Notes. The Notes contain updated news and a list of conferences, plus a calendar of difficult dates. The Journal consists of articles, poems, book reviews, and artwork. Jeannie hosts her own website (www.ra-info.org) for survivors, supporters, and professionals with an extensive annotated bibliography, including websites, resources, and a FAQ in seven different languages. She moderates the Survivorship (www.survivorship.org) message boards, which have helped shape the healing paths for many survivors. Finally, Jeannie has recently set up a series of Webinars for Survivorship, bringing survivors together in a conference atmosphere without ever having to leave their home. It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to interview Jeannie as an addition to my website, the DS. (www.dissociatedsurvivor.com). Read the rest of this entry »
