SURVIVORSHIP WEBINARS
Survivorship is happy to announce a series of Webinars and Teleconferences on various aspects of ritual abuse and healing. Webinars are seminars on the Web – basically, conference calls plus slides. Teleconferences are conference calls; sometimes they are accompanied by slides on the Survivorship website. Both can have question and answer periods. They are like presentations at a conference, except there is no travel involved!
This is how it works. You call a certain number, you are connected to the conference call, and you listen to the presenter over your phone. If it's a Webinar, you see slides or other documents on your computer. There is also a chat feature.
Hopefully, this new technology will be an effective way of imparting information and building bridges between people who cannot meet in person. We hope that many of you will participate and some will be inspired to give Webinars or Teleconferences on aspects of ritual abuse, mind control, and healing that are of particular interest to you. Remember, we are all experts, we all have something to contribute, and together we are writing the “instruction manual” for healing!

Elle Snow, MSW
"Ritual Abuse Survivors and Eating Disorders."
Do you find you have a love/hate relationship with food? Are there parts of you who are controlled by old messages about what you “have to” do with food and your body? Would you like to change your eating patterns but don’t know where to begin? This webinar will look at some of the psychology and brass tack basics about DID, eating disorders, and nutrition.
Elle Snow received her MSW at Smith College where she first became interested in studying DID from an International perspective. She has worked with populations such as the Meshketian Turks and Somali Bantus and has researched DID in Argentina and Japan. She recently spent a year in the war zone of Uganda, providing treatment to help child soldiers in their recovery from programming. She has a practice in Santa Monica and Redondo Beach, CA treating ritual abuse survivors and survivors of other torture. paypal payment
