  • HOW LONG A FEELING ACTUALLY LASTS: 90 SECONDS
    In the book My Stroke of Insight, brain scientist Jill Bolte Taylor explains that the natural life span of an emotion—the average time it takes for it to move through the nervous system and body—is only a minute and a half, a mere ninety seconds.

  • STOPSO: The Specialist Treatment Organisation for the Perpetrators and Survivors of Sexual Offences www.stopso.org.uk   Offer therapy across the UK for sexual abuse survivors, perpetrators, and training for therapists about working with those at risk of committing sexual offences
  • MORE THAN ONE CHILD IS SEXUALLY ABUSED EVERY MINUTE, IN THE UK.  This is based on NSPCC figures. 
    There were 73,518 police recorded offences including rape, online grooming and sexual assault against children in the UK in 2019/20.  The Children’s Commissioner say that only 1 in 8 children report. 
    73,518 x 8 = 588,144 / 365 = 1611. 
    That is 1,611 children a day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  There are 1440 minutes in the day.  So more than 1 child a minute is sexually abused in the UK.
