Re: Trauma Journal from The journal is called an "upside-down" book. Patients like wrote their entries on the right- hand side of the notebook, and then doctors, staff and other patients would write on the back of those pages, upside down — words of encouragement and positive thoughts. Everything is in chronological order and the writings and notes from other people were made contemporaneously, in 2012. Below are excerpts from some of her entries from her Trauma Journal: • May 15, 2012 • June 5, 2012 • June 12, 2012 • c le.

But since its for trauma no one has to see it. At the end of my stay, I'm going to have all of the staff sign this book the right way up with the person I'm most able to talk to be the first. At first when I heard it was approved I thought Id be mil to Arizona but when they said was best fit because I'm able to work with I wanted to scream and cry because I haven't been back to Florida since my last time with Ghislaine and Jeffrad so that was so scary and I didn't want to have a man therapist even if he does know about I won't be able to talk to him even though it turns out that he is super nice and understands me. The flight wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I felt wei other people since I was always on private planes but I think I I The flight attendant, I wish I got her name, she could tell to the pilot and I kept looking to make sure it wasn't one o ey' but it wasn't. During the flight she would make sure and drinks and when I got really scared as we with me. I started getting really scared once 14 wese terrified that maybe this was a set-up and whi I tit t off Ghislaine but the flight attendant didn't and then helped me to find the driver The drive was super scary.

I couldn't manage because I was becoming more and more convinced he was kidnapping me and I would have to face Jeffrey against after leaving how I did so all I could make out was "yes" "no" "thank you" and some "uh huhs" so he probably thinks I'm so rude. It ended up being fine but it was super hard to keep it together. The campus is beautiful but the ool reminds me too much of bad things so I won't be going to that. It has changed a lot since so maybe they got money from that to make it so pretty. And. is really nice but I still wish I could have gotten a girl therapist because I know I won't be able to talk about any of this trauma. I don't like to go to the groups outside of the healing garden or the other building because I get so much panic that I think Jeffrey or Ghislaine will just pop up. 2 EFTA02731255 May 25. 2012 ...Like the idiot that I am did happy claps and quickly realized what I was doing and he said I immediately had a change in body language and looked distant and sad and asked why something happy made me so sad and I wanted to tell how even being here is traumatic and that I'm so scared that Jeffrey is around every corner but then I remember the rules. ....

Not everything has to be perfect and definitely not a book that no one will ever see. I got two more stickers in my fun book and that makes me so proud! That sounds pathetic. But I am learning to trust I. more and more even though he's a man. I'm still terrified that Jeffrey will walk through the door at any moment but now that I'be been here for almost a month, things have become routine which I'm s000 grateful for. June 12 2012 ■ keeps reminding me that I don't need to be so rigid and uniform and it's okay to sometimes break certain rules but I don't think that's exactly right. never stops bragging about her stupid beauty pageant... want to be in the room with her .. and I was SO wrong about thought she was and doesn't understand why its triggeri me so much of but not as bad.

I genuinely felt like I was dying of a heart attack (which the nurse said it was a panic attack and not a heart-attack) but it felt like one. She thinks I should tells and that it would be helpful for me but I made sure she remembered her promise to me about not telling anyone since I made the same. She said it would always be safe with her and I know she's being honest. I think. I told her I would consider telling who has officially become my most favorite counselor here. But I told her I may not be able to tell her names because of my promise and now I think even would have to tell. 3 EFTA02731257 And that made me more scared because she reminds me of and she has the female version accent of Jeffrey so I'm just a mess and nodded and she said in such a funny way. had the same idea about maybe writing out a list or timeline of my trauma just to myself and then maybe once I'm able to share then it will be kept safe until that time. I think I will try to do that but there isn't the time tonight.

The next thing I know I have staff and other girls who didn't have family surrounding me and had cold ice in my hand. I was searching desperately for_, but she wasn't there and was trying to convince me that it was safe to come out but I wouldn't until finally came. Everyone was just staring at me, and it was so embarrassing and I asked what happened but she said that it wasn't important to talk about. Remembered I was supposed to go see so and it was with the same accent. I wanted to just s• because family bought me the most lovely stuffed he moves his head. to walk me to the door quickly okay though e tlPat plays a lullaby and I talked more with and told her about ed and I wasn't sure how to handle that because I wasn't sure if she was ad at me sa t I hugged her and she hugged back so tight.

July 7, 2012 I made her promise until 1 Pffrs old and we pinky swore. I met my goal of connecting with a staff member and I told her erything. She is safe and I know it will be safe with her. She said as long as I'm wearing her bracelet. I am safe to now write the trauma in here. I don't need to be detailed but for me to process and understand. She doesn't think I have a full understanding and thinks one day I'll need and want to process it with a grown up when and if I am ready but she wouldn't explain the things she felt I didn't understand. I promised I would do that as soon as she left and so I know I must do it before she gets back for lights out. I'm not sure how to do this but I'll do my best and if I did it wrong I'm sure she'll say something. - From 16-18 — MiAldie, Jeffrey, Ghislaine, Trio sent to many in DC, NY, FL, island, too many (I hate HATE) 4 EFTA02731258 How in the hell am I suppose to have "radical acceptance" of these thin s? It's a honor story that I survived why was I allowed to survive? Am I a monster? I wish would hurry up and come back because I don't know if Ghislaine should be in there. and thinks so, thinks so but what am I missing? Why won't say? I'm going to ask as soon as she returns. I don't want to radically accept. I want to know why. What could I possibly learn from this? A priest! I planned that out so well. He couldn't talk or tell. He is supposed to be good. Why? I need to go find and ask for medication. July 8, 2012 I don't want to leave any time soon. I don't feel ready. I mean I do with eating, I won't put my recovery in danger but I can't radically accept.. and assured me they'd find a team back home to help me but do I even deserve help unraveling all of that?
