First of all, we should stop experience stressful situations as a catastrophe, as a reason for panic or despair. We should accept them as challenge, as opportunity. It’s the best way to cope, to overcome. More active we are, less we are afraid, worried, anxious.
The most important is to surpass our helplessness, our frustration.

The Psychology of Torture

The Psychology of Torture

Author: Sam Vaknin

There is one place in which one’s privacy, intimacy, integrity and inviolability are guaranteed - one’s body, a unique temple and a familiar territory of sensa and personal history. The torturer invades, defiles and desecrates this shrine. He does so publicly, deliberately, repeatedly and, often, sadistically and sexually, with undisguised pleasure. Hence the all-pervasive, long-lasting, and, frequently, irreversible effects and outcomes of torture.

The body becomes an accomplice of the tormentor, an uninterruptible channel of communication, a treasonous, poisoned territory.
