French for “assembly” or “editing” – mixture of different things; producing a new composite whole from fragments of pictures, text, or music; communicate a large amount of information to an audience over a shorter span of time. (Or simply…“a little bit of this…and a little bit of that”…)
The idea for MONTAGE came to me after I noticed how so many of my Instagram Followers have so much relevant and important information to share and offer!!! (Articles & Blogs, Books, Classes (Virtual), Support Groups & Services, Podcasts, YouTube Channels, Professional Services, etc specifically addressing Prevention of Sexual Assault, etc. and Support Services for Survivors) While researching their websites, I found some very important information on Trauma Therapy and Healing modalities that I want to share, as well.
We will be sharing resources for Survivor Support; Safety & Prevention (Education/Training + Awareness = Prevention); as well as Empowerment, Health & Wellness; and Mental Health & Mindfulness, Positivity, Alternative “therapies” and much more!
We will continue to add more information to MONTAGE~ALTERNATIVES. Visit often!!! (Some have already offered a discount, and others may eventually have a special offer or discount available for Papillon Z Members.)
So, MONTAGE~ALTERNATIVES will be an expanding work- in-progress as we continue to reach out to some very amazing people.
PLEASE KNOW…MONTAGE~ALTERNATIVES includes information from unique IG accounts, websites, and a variety of people and organizations ~ some may offer blogs; books; podcasts; services and support groups; products; classes/courses; motivational, inspirational, educational and mental health content, professional services and support; YouTube channels; and more. The information is invaluable, and it’s important to share this information with Papillon Z Members (for Survivor Support, as well as Prevention), as well as anyone else who visits our website, and views MONTAGE~ALTERNATIVES .
We have no affiliate relationships with any of these accounts, individuals, organizations, businesses, etc. on Instagram
and we do not profit from sharing this information in any way.*
*However, there are several vendors (not Instagram accounts) with whom we do have an affiliate relationship, and we may receive a fee if a product is purchased.
My Hope and Belief…
the Universe will make the connections for those who need it, when they need it.
While Papillon Z promotes PREVENTION of Sexual Assault, we acknowledge that MANY are Survivors of Sexual Assault, etc.
So, we provide many Resources in National and State Resources, as well as our new ALTERNATIVES MONTAGE page, that offer Support and Services to Survivors.

@survivorsmovement | Stand Up Speak Up | Survivors of sexual abuse are fighting back and mobilizing a new social movement, a great social movement approaching the power and influence of the Civil Rights Movement and the Women’s Movement. There is a dramatic shift in political power, judicial accountability, legislative action, and social awareness.
After years of silence, survivors are coming forward to forge this new movement which has shifted the balance of power and created hundreds of national organizations in the last twenty years.

@MariNeliStory | Personal blog and Author | Sharing my true story,ups and down↕️twists and turns of life🌪.Christian🙏🏽,Cancer Thriver🎀,Dog Lover💞,Adoptee🇨🇴💔,Abuse Thriver💙💜,Author📖, Athletic💪🏽😅
Mari Neli Bejarano Beltran is married, has four daughters, and her first grandchild is on the way. She plans to use her harrowing personal experiences to reach out to children and people all over the world in hopes of reaching those who feel like no one cares or understands what they are going through. This is her first book.
When desperate family circumstances in Colombia send young Mari and her sisters to an orphanage for adoption, her biological family thought they would have a better life in America. However, no one could have anticipated the awful reality that awaited them, shattering all images of the American dream. Terrifying living conditions and appalling abuse drove Mari down a dark path to violent outbursts, anger management issues, promiscuity, and drug addiction in an attempt to find an escape any way possible. In spite of these overwhelming circumstances, she changed the course of her life and, through God’s love, not only found herself but the strength and faith to break the chains of abuse.

Blossom & Grow’s mission— to bring a renewed sense of healing to Survivors of Domestic Violence, Rape, Teen Dating Violence and Sex Trafficking and their families through Plant Therapy Workshops and Plant Therapy Sessions/Plant Therapy family nights and group activities.
We at Blossom and Grow believe the way to end the cycle of Domestic Violence is to initiate the healing process with the survivors and their families. We believe in obtaining housing assistance, life skills classes and an emergency place to stay during the tumultuous time are important parts of the process to getting the family back on their feet–but how do you give them the skills to never allow themselves to be put in this situation again?
We have designed workshops/plant therapy days/nights for the whole family ages: 6-9, 10-13, 14-17, and 18-up! We cover areas such as Domestic Violence, Rape, Teen Dating Violence and Sex Trafficking Survival, as well with more classes being created regularly.
We want to be able to propose these sessions for family night/days plant to our local and nationwide Domestic Violence Shelters, libraries, community centers, churches and other community groups childcare facilities, rehabs, adult medical daycares, nursing homes, assisted living facilities. #dvsurvivor #planttherapy #iloveplants #ilovegardening #growthroughwhatyougothrough #wearegrowing #mentalhealthmatters #rooted #gofundme
@we2me2 |from Me too to We TOO – A VR Social Network for Empowering Sexual Violence Survivors
We too is a VR Social Network for the use of Sexual Violence Survivors. We are trying to empower sexual harassment survivors, socially and mentally.
Real-time Group Sessions | Group sessions in different verticals will be held in our VR social network, where the users can talk about their experience, feelings, concerns and etc.
Newsletter & Blog, too
Taking advantage of VR technology and the miracle of peer support and group therapy, we provide the survivors of sexual harassment with a chance to speak up and express all their concerns and also help their peers to pass the trauma with telling their stories.
The term “sexual violence” is an all-encompassing, non-legal term that refers to crimes like sexual assault, harassment, rape, and sexual abuse. Unfortunately, sexual violence is far more common than most would suspect and it does not happen only in developing countries.
“I am a survivor of Narcissistic Abuse. I created this Podcast with the intention of sharing my story, explaining what happened, and the Power I am finding on the road to recovery and healing.”

Narcissistic Abuse Victims and Survivors (who were able to leave their abusers) post such helpful information on Instagram, have Podcasts and websites, and other ways of spreading Hope for Healing and Recovery.
Many of these people are still on their own Healing Journey and want to share their stories to try to Help Others!
We will continue to add as we learn of others!

@thorn | Thorn – We build digital tools and programs to defend every child from online sexual abuse. #DefendHappiness #EliminateCSAM
The problem of child sex trafficking and sexual abuse is vast. It’s not isolated to developing countries. It’s happening here. And now.
Abusers are co-opting new and emerging technology to hurt children. Understanding how is key to stopping the abuse.
Reports of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online have increased 15,000% over the last 15 years. We are not deterred by the size of this epidemic. That’s why we’ve set our sights on a bold goal: we will eliminate child sexual abuse from the internet. Our response to this epidemic must be redesigned for the digital age. It won’t be easy, but it is possible.

Including THORN for Parents https://www.thorn.org/digital-resources-parents/
“Parents probably never imagined having to talk to kids about things like sexting, nudes, or online grooming. These conversations are awkward, challenging, and difficult to get started. That’s why we’ve built a new digital resource hub for parents concerned about their kids’ safety as they grow up online.”

Lauren Taylor and Lynne Marie Wanamaker (defendyourself.org) wrote in their article for The Washington Post, “Actually, Miss USA is right: Self-defense can prevent sexual assault.” that Miss USA 2014, Nia Sanchez of Nevada, told one of the judges that teaching women self-defense could help reduce sexual assaults on college campuses – she’s right. (Unfortunately, sexual assaults on college campuses have only escalated since 2014!!)
Self-Defense Based on Empowerment
The American Medical Association even calls sexual assault an epidemic!!!
Lauren and Lynne (self-defense instructors for more than 25 years) say their approach to self-defense is based on empowerment, focusing on expanding women’s choices in response to harassment, abuse and assault. Lauren and Lynne say that, “Empowerment self-defense teaches skills that are both concrete and flexible. These include interpersonal and environmental awareness, assertiveness, boundary-setting, physical strikes and community-building.
“These tools can help woman ward off sexual predators and deal with harassment and bullying. This matters because interpersonal violence frequently occurs as a series of incidents of escalating intensity. If we can interrupt violence in its early stages, we can decrease the harm it causes.”
More Confidence
When asked if researching women’s self-defense had made her more paranoid, Caroline Cunningham, Associate Editor of the Washingtonian, told her co-worker that after discovering empowerment-based self-defense, “It’s had the opposite effect. It’s made me more aware but also more confident – both in my ability to protect myself and in the fact that my confidence is one of the things that may keep me safe.”

Get Your Life Back.
Trauma does not have to be the end of the story. Whether it is trauma from military service, motor vehicle accident, sudden death of a loved one, displacement due to war, political unrest, or natural disaster trauma symptoms can highjack your thinking, emotions and your body. It can seem impossible to get back to normal life. But modern neuroscience and research on cutting-edge therapies prove that recovery is possible.
The Trauma Treatment Companion integrates interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, and cognitive behavioural therapy to create a pathway out of the wilderness of trauma symptoms. (Click Here to Read More)

HealthPrep.com – Guide To Common Forms Of Alternative Therapy, By Katherine MacAulay (to improve Body, Mind and Spirit Health) (Aromatherapy, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Ayurvedic Medicine)
Holistic Therapy attempts to address the individual in terms of their Mind, Spirit, and Body.
How Holistic Therapy Works
The notion of holistic therapy assumes that an individual’s self-perception (or their consciousness) is not to be found in any one particular area but is an integration of the entire person, including their physical body, mind (as a function of the brain), feelings or emotions (as a function of the interaction between the brain [central nervous system] and the physical body), and spirit (the higher part of oneself that connects one to others and to an understanding of meaning). Holistic therapy attempts to have the individual gain awareness of these connections between the mind, body, and spirit using a number of different techniques. The goal is to help individuals to develop a much deeper understanding of themselves at all levels, which can often lead to improved self-esteem and self-awareness.

In case you were wondering what Reiki is, or what Reiki does… This is one of her many profound, deep and thought-provoking posts. . .

Reiki Refresher Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing (alternative medicine) which transfers universal life force energy through a practitioners hands to the recipient.
Distant/Remote Reiki is when the practitioner performs the Reiki treatment for a client who is not physically present. Universal life force energy flows through every living thing and is not limited by time or space. Distant Reiki has been a practice even prior to these last two years of virtual everything.
Through this energy transfer it creates balance throughout the body system so everything can work in harmony. Reiki releases stagnant energy throughout the body that builds up overtime due to stress of every day life, and traumatic experiences.
Reiki helps to move energy so that it flows more freely resulting in better mood, better sleep and mental clarity.
Reiki treatments can release physical pain and promote faster healing. The body is self healing all the time. Reiki assists this healing as the energy is able to flow freely to where it is needed.
Reiki is also a great immune system booster, reduces anxiety (yes pls!), and stress. It helps our body to have some protection from burn out.
Reiki improves emotional and mental health, and helps foster a healthy way of responding to every day situations. When the energy is balanced and flowing we also “flow” more effortlessly. The healing that takes place positively impacts decision making and perspective.
Hospitals around the world that offer Reiki in conjunction with conventional treatments have found it has been very helpful in acute, chronic, and palliative patients, providing physical and emotional comfort.
Reiki is an intuitive process and often the practitioner is intuitively guided to focus on certain areas and chakras. If the practitioner’s intuitive abilities are particularly strong, they will hear messages and see visuals during the treatment that can be very helpful in the healing process. 
Basically, Reiki is the ULTIMATE self care!

ART THERAPY FOR TRAUMA
https://psychcentral.com/ptsd/art-therapy-for-trauma
Creative expression can be a beneficial form of therapy, especially for those who need help navigating traumatic experiences.
Effects of trauma can include:
♦ altered sleep patterns
♦ panic attacks
♦ becoming withdrawn
♦ intrusive thoughts
♦ being easily startled
♦ hypervigilance
With the guidance of an art therapist, you may unlock and express memories or feelings that help you process trauma, anxiety, depression, or another mental health condition when the words aren’t easily flowing.
The body holds onto trauma — even if the mind isn’t aware — also known as somatization.
“Trauma is stored in the body, and the way that we’ve experienced it is not always easy to access verbally. We experience it in images, and art can let us express that experience,” Saba Lurie explains.
____________________________
To find an art therapist qualified to work with PTSD, look for a trauma-informed therapist. This means the therapist is an art expert but also has other tools to support survivors on their recovery journey, like talk therapy and CBT. Art will always remain the centerpiece of treatment.

TRAUMA THERAPY
(From https://psy-minds.com/therapies-overcome-trauma/ )
The ancient Greek word for the wound is trauma.
Simply defined, trauma is a deeply disturbing experience that can create extreme stress and overwhelm the body and the mind.
About 70 percent of U.S. adults have experienced a traumatic event at least once in their lives and up to 20 percent of these people can also develop post-traumatic stress, according to the nonprofit organization Sidran Traumatic Stress Institute.
Clinical psychiatrist and trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk has described trauma as “the body keeping score” or as somatic memories stored as visual images or physical sensations. He defines overcoming trauma as being able to feel what you feel without reentering the misery of the past.
Research indicates these five alternative therapies can offer significant relief from the effects of trauma on the body and mind.
Physician Gabor Maté, a trauma expert, says that with trauma, “we lose the connection to our own essence.” He suggests the trauma is less about what happened and more about losing a connection to ourselves—feeling as though we have lost our wisdom, strength, and joy in life. (Read more at https://psy-minds.com/therapies-overcome-trauma/ )
From a holistic point of view, healing from trauma means learning to come back to feeling our sense of self with its full range of emotions and physical experiences.
And research is showing that many evidence-based trauma interventions can help —including:
1. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – This powerful multi-phase modality helps heal trauma, including sexual and physical abuse, accident trauma, and grief. (One of the biggest benefits of this method is that it works quickly. Studies show that up to 90 percent of trauma patients no longer have posttraumatic stress after only three 90-minute sessions.)
2. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) (Dr. Dawson Church) – EFT is a self-healing method that combines elements of cognitive therapy and exposure therapy with acupressure to tap on acupuncture points throughout the body. (How does it work? Put simply, EFT tapping reduces the emotional impact of memories that trigger emotional upset.)
3. Craniosacral therapy – Craniosacral therapy is a light hands-on modality that works with the entire body to help heal discomfort, pain, and trauma. (The therapy is also known to help with chronic neck and back pain, migraines, and general stress-relief.)
4. Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY) – Incorporating yogic principles and practices, the goal of this type of yoga is to support stabilized emotions and increased tools for those dealing with emotional and behavioral issues, including trauma and post-traumatic stress.
5. Acupuncture – The Department of Veterans Affairs lists acupuncture as a Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) treatment for post-traumatic stress. (Many studies have shown that it is a safe and cost-effective treatment for chronic conditions, including anxiety, sleep issues, [pain] and post-traumatic stress.)

SOUND HEALING
Everything You Need to Know About Sound Healing
(January 10, 2019) by Irina Yugay
What Is Sound Healing? Sound healing is the process in which a practitioner uses music — including the emotional, psychological, spiritual, physical, social, mental, and superficial — to improve the health of their patient.
Sound healing can improve many facets of your life, including emotional and social development, and cognitive and motor functioning.
Sound healing: The word is emotive.
Its etymology comes from the Greek “Art of the Muses,” the goddesses who embodied and inspired art, literature, and knowledge of mankind.
Music was never invented or discovered, but something innate in us all. It comes as no surprise then, that for centuries, sound healing has been used as a therapy to cure many ailments.
We use music for entertainment, expression, celebration, ceremony, leisure, and communication. Whether we are musically inclined or not, it is the one thing that truly connects humans from all cultures, creeds, and corners of the earth.
A 2006 study done by the Journal of Advanced Nursing discovered that those who listen to music feel less pain and experiences less anxiety than those who don’t.
Since sounds come at different frequencies and we too emit our own waves, healing with sound happens by matching frequencies to those that are conducive to healing and relaxation.
Sounds and songs also elicit memories retrieval, and this can be used to help patients who are traumatized or depressed.
Click Links below to Read More Tips on mindvalley.com about…
Healing with sound can improve or cure many ailments including:
♦ Autism
♦ Depression
♦ Learning disabilities
♦ Anxiety disorder
♦ Stress
♦ PTSD
♦ Pain
It can also bring about:
♦ Clarity and balance
♦ Relaxation
♦ Improved memory and concentration
♦ Improved sleep
♦ A stronger immune system
♦ Improved creativity
♦ Heightened awareness, both of the self and the environment
6-Phase Meditation with Vishen Lakhiani https://youtu.be/gRhrdm_1afQ
SOUND HEALING: THE MEDICINE OF THE PAST AND FUTURE
Sound is measured in terms of Frequency or Hertz (Hz).
Sound Healing is the application of Healing frequencies to the physical and subtle energy fields around the body. These healing or therapeutic frequencies and sounds are delivered via, live sound therapy sessions, the Voice, vocal Overtone Singing and a variety of sound healing tools such as Tuning forks, Tibetan singing bowls, quartz crystal bowls, monochords as well as those from more Shamanic Sound Healing traditions, such as digeridoo, Native drum, Native flute, rattles and so on.
WHAT ARE HEALING FREQUENCIES?
These are frequencies that many therapists and medical practitioners have found to be effective in the treatment of different ailments and conditions.
Healing frequencies are often based on Natural Cycles as is the case with HarmonicSounds Tuning Forks for Sound Therapy. There are many different opinions about which healing frequencies are most effective, and we advise students of our trainings to practise with all the tools and instruments at their disposal in order to find a system that best works and ‘resonates’ with them.
