My offering of these resources is mere suggestion, not a claim to ownership or endorsement; anything concerning ritual abuse, mind control, organized abuse, child and adult slavery, and/or torture should be browsed with extreme caution. I will not be held responsible for anything that happens, for better or for worse, as a result of examining or using these resources. This material can be highly triggering for survivors—it may be best if you have a trusted support person browse with (or for) you in order to make sure you stay safe.
Some of these resources, particularly the books linked throughout, are paid. I encourage you to pay for what you can because I believe that funding research in these fields is an important thing, but I also know how it feels to be a survivor with no money. Please pay for what you can, but for my guide on how to download books from shadow libraries, please read this page.

EAS - Extreme Abuse Surveys
The Extreme Abuse Surveys are a collection of online surveys conducted in both German and English to gather data on reported histories of ritual abuse, mind control and other organized abuse for survivor and clinician benefit. Since formal studies on RA/MC/state and non-state torture/etc. are much more scarce than in other fields, this is an invaluable resource.

Safe touch is important. Sometimes, for any number of reasons, safe touch from external people is not safe or possible. Havening is "a type of psychosensory modality based on the fields of neuroscience and neurobiology, which uses sensory input in order to alter thought, mood, and behavior. It is believed that when an event or experience is perceived as traumatic or stressful, it becomes immutably encoded in the psyche and the body, often with life altering consequences. Havening is designed to make changes in the brain in order to de-traumatize and remove from both the psyche and the body the emotional memory of a traumatic or stressful life event and its negative effects." I discuss safe touch further on my page dedicated to grounding and self-soothing.
The ISST-D is an organization dedicated to the study of dissociative disorders and trauma recovery. They also maintains a therapist-finder tool and a list of special interest groups, one of which is dedicated to "[furthering] dialogue, knowledge, research, and training on the etiology, evaluation, and effective treatment of trauma and dissociation in clients reporting histories of organized and extreme abuse, including ritual abuse and mind control." The public resources page may be of particular interest.
