What is Ritual Abuse?
Ritual abuse usually involves repeated abuse over an extended period of time. The physical abuse is severe, sometimes including torture, rape, beastiality, human sacrifice and cannibalism. The sexual abuse is usually painful, sadistic and humiliating, intended as a means of gaining dominance over the victim. The psychological abuse is devastating and involves the use of ritual indoctrination. In ritual abuse, the victim is subjected to rituals or ceremonies dedicated to an entity usually Satan or Lucifer. The term “god” may be used as well.
Ritual abuse includes sex trafficking, but sex trafficking does not necessarily include ritual abuse. Other forms of abuse are also not considered ritual abuse such as isolated child molestation, domestic violence, or mental and verbal abuse. Ritual abuse usually occurs in a communal setting though it can be limited to family members. Many ritual abuse victims experience ritual abuse abroad and sexual and physical abuse at home.
Survivor Spotlight
Stats Are Not Accurate
Government statistics regarding sex trafficking are grossly inaccurate because they don’t include those individuals who have been ritually abused. That’s because the numbers reported by the FBI are based on an antiquated definition of sex trafficking and reporting. They only consider those kids who were transported elsewhere and abused by unrelated perpetrators. They don’t consider those kids who were abused in their own homes, a neighbor’s home, or place of worship where the child may be missing for just a few hours and then returned. The vast majority of the time, the parents knew where their child was but they didn’t report. The other problem is that survivors do not report the abuse because they have been threatened to keep silent. They also feel that people will not believe them and further harm will come as a result. This problem is so much bigger than people realize.
Housing for Survivors
Relentless Hope does not have shelter facilities but we do have a list of agencies who provide housing across the country. Their programs provide long term shelter, counseling, medical and other services free to survivors. Programs typically last 6 – 24 months. These are for people who are serious about getting healed which includes breaking relationships with your abusers to gain freedom. These shelters are not psych hospitals and do not force medicate.
Find a Counselor
Finding a qualified, safe counselor is tough. Some counselors are part of the child trafficking system and their job is to keep survivors under control. The other issue is that most counselors haven’t been trained in college to deal with ritual abuse clients. This topic is considered taboo, fake, or satanic panic nonsense. The college level educational system is infiltrated with satanists and pedophiles, and of course you can’t rely on the world of psychology to be spiritually safe. According to published research, 92% of psychologists believe that ritual abuse exists and that survivors are telling the truth. Ritual abuse is not false memories. It is real. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
The vast majority of survivors have DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). For those on Medicaid, your options for counselors who have experience in DID is rare. The best you can do is to find a counselor in your network who has experience in trauma/PTSD or pay out of pocket for qualified therapists. I know this answers sucks. You can always ask a counselor if they offer a sliding scale payment option.
We highly recommend EMDR and neurofeedback for survivors. You can look to see which counselors in your state offer these services. You can go to the following websites for help or refer to your insurance provider’s directory. In addition, you can also find a biblical counselor who is much cheaper than state licensed therapists. No matter who you choose, always be cautious and check references. One of our advocates can also assist you finding a counselor/life coach that understands the abuse.

Legal Assistance
If you need pro bono legal assistance, there are several law firms across the country that provide such services for sexual abuse survivors and their children. These agencies provide pro bono representation but there are requirements. You need to have documentation of the abuse which may include police reports, Department of Child Protective Services (DCFS or CPS) reports, medical records of injuries, counselor notes, photos or videos, etc. To increase your chances of getting representation, you need to make a victim statement which chronologically details your abuse through the years with dates, perpetrator names and locations. Having these documents and records in hand will increase your chances that a lawyer will take your case.
