LIVED EXPERIENCE OF THERAPY FOR CHILD-SEX-ABUSE

A first hand account of how talk therapy cured Scott of his child-trauma

I first met Scott Maloney 25 years ago, when he was being harassed by a psychiatrist, and needed representation in a hostile family court. We have kept in contact ever since – it has been an eventful ride for him.

He is keen to talk, keen to explain, keen to communicate his experiences. He has agreed that his email be included, as below. Please contact him to hear more. 

He is proud of the fact that he used his intrinsic talents to escape from Rampton, a Maximum Secure (so-called) Hospital – somewhere I wrote a consultant psychiatrist report advising he not be sent. Not only does he show a clear grasp of how to cure child-traumas, but he highlights just how awful is our current penal, and so-called Criminal Justice System. . . . .

HOW MY “STOP–GRANDDAD–THERAPY” WORKS FOR ME.

(1) Whenever I get flashbacks, about my childhood-sexual-abuse, or I get angry feelings, and thoughts, or I get or think sexual inappropriate thoughts, I straight away go into role-play, I’ll explain further.

(2) I go into role-play there and then, or I find somewhere quiet on my own, then I shout out at Granddad. I know he is dead, but I also know he is in my head, trauma, and flashbacks, and anxiety.

(3) I shout out to Granddad – “Stop abusing me, you cannot do this to me anymore, I am a man now not a child, so leave me alone.”

(4) I shout out to Granddad – “I am not gay, I am a straight man, I am not confused any more about my sexuality, so leave me alone.”

(5) I shout out to Granddad – “I will not expose myself any more to women. There is no need for me to express myself in any sexually inappropriate ways, as I know my true sexuality, so leave me alone.”

(6) When I shout out these statements to Granddad – my mind, thoughts, feelings, urges, just go blank. They all disappear. I know this, because I use these techniques regular. When I get flashbacks of my sexual abuse, or when I get thoughts or feelings or urges to act inappropriate to adult women, I quickly leave the room or area, find somewhere on my own and then I start my Stop-Granddad-Therapy.

(7) I remember once about two months ago in “X” prison, whilst in my cell on my own, I was doing my Stop-Granddad-Therapy, when a prison officer popped his head in my cell. He said are you okay, are you hearing voices, or something. I said of course not, I told the male prison officer, but I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and I was using my Stop-Granddad-Therapy techniques. The prison officer said does it work? I said yes it does work for me. The male prison officer then left my cell, not sure if it was documented on my prison files or not.

(8) I use Stop-Granddad-Therapy often, and I believe it works for me, and it benefits me, and I believe it reduces my risk issues on my Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I will always use these techniques, in prison and in the community on stop Stop-Granddad-Therapy. I thank psychiatrist Dr Bob Johnson for helping me explore and have insights into my Stop-Granddad-Therapy and have been able to learn my Stop-Granddad-Therapy techniques . . . . . . .
