I honestly don't have the words to say how incredible I found the DID and Ritual Abuse training. I am very grateful to have heard your story and to be present while you shared all of the knowledge you have. I am very keen to do more research into both DID and ritual abuse. Immy (ISVA Team Leader)

I found Rhiannon’s vast knowledge really helpful and informative- examples helped to bed the information in to my mind. The slides with visuals really helped me to focus. Rhiannon I found your experiences really moving and . I have found this training invaluable. – Erica (DV counsellor)

Hearing a lived person’s experience with ritual abuse. Clear definitions of what ritual abuse entails (beyond the myths or sensationalism). Insight into how perpetrators manipulate belief systems, fear, and secrecy. I am extremely grateful to Rhiannon and especially with what she shared - Amarah (DV Counsellor)
