ABSTRACT
Many survivors feel that the after effects of traumatic abuse dominate their lives. The majority of each survivor's life is spent in ordinary life, usually handled by the front person with relatively ordinary thoughts and feelings. Still, there are always dark flashes and strange sensations leaking from survivors' depths, especially if something in ordinary life happens to touch on what really happened. Satanic rituals occur at most once a month normally. The actual time spent being tortured and/or mind-controlled is a small fraction of the total time that survivors' spend in ordinary life doing everyday actions. Yet, the impact of the monthly ritual and weekly mind-control session is almost constant in their life. When non-traumatic events occur, they wash away in time and eventually are not recalled. But traumatic occurrences stick and freeze out the cleansing flow of time. They become cemented and cannot be budged or prodded out.
