I had to access the forum through a proxy, but this link should work for now. Please read:
** Never mind, the proxy drops the link eventually. **
(Actually, just noticed, the proxy page includes the original link inside an added page element; if your IP address is not blocked you can have a look here:

But I did take a screen-shot (I have to figure how to upload; maybe no need now unless thread gets deleted). Until then, here is a little cut and paste of the text:

A lil about me
I'm Chip, one of the admins, and the main gearhead that deals with technical issues for SI.
I have been working with abuse survivors since the late 1980s, and started working through my own CSA issues before that. I hold national certification in bodywork and somatic healing, and also have training and certification in Ericksonian psychotherapy and hypnosis, somatosynthesis (a mind-body approach to healing with application to abuse survivors), Confluent Somatic Therapy, and directed eye movement therapy (similar to EMDR, a treatment for PTSD.) I have also had extensive clinical experience co-treating clients with sexual abuse issues in a shared practice setting with a psychotherapist and clinical social worker. I also have a background in shamanism, holistic medicine, and other non-western forms of healing.
These days my work with healing is mostly an avocation; I am an entrepreneur and own several businesses with my friend and business partner and therefore work mostly at home, but it is the work with healing and the interest in psychology that is probably my strongest passion. So it's actually a nice thing to be able to volunteer and help in that field without the stress of having to make it my living.
I have a strong belief that people are NOT destined to be products of their upbringing or bad parenting or abusive experiences. While those things may affect us and color the way we experience the world until we learn to prevent that, I have seen remarkable resilience in people, particularly young people, in overcoming the experiences of their childhood and becoming happy, fulfilled, well-adjusted people."
