This website is primarily intended for survivors of ritual abuse, and for therapists, counsellors, and professionals who work with survivors of ritual abuse. It is also meant for survivors of any other form of sexual abuse or violence who recognise themselves in these experiences, and for anyone who feels addressed by this subject.
The purpose of this website is to help break the taboo that unfortunately still exists around ritual abuse. In my work as a psychologist, I meet many people who have become victims of ritual abuse, and I want to make this topic open for discussion and provide clear, reliable information. I also sincerely hope that survivors will find recognition and validation here for what they have been through, and perhaps feel encouraged to take a first step in speaking about their experiences. You will also find contributions from survivors on this website.
If you are a survivor of ritual abuse, I want to let you know that some of the content on this site may be triggering. This means it could bring back memories and emotions related to the abuse. For that reason, I encourage you to approach this site with care. It may be helpful to explore it together with someone you trust, rather than on your own.
*This is a limited English overview of Fragile Wing. Some deeper resources are currently only available in Dutch.*
This website will contain a great deal of information, and it is my hope that many people will benefit from it and develop a deeper understanding of survivors. Ultimately, this website is dedicated to them. I am aware that I can never explain or cover everything here. For survivors, some of the information may not feel important. Rather, you may long for recognition, understanding, support, and validation. My hope is that you will find that here as well.
This website is created from a Christian perspective, with the aim of bringing darkness into the light and offering support and comfort to those who have become victims of ritual abuse.
