The Sligo Rape Crisis Centre deals with some of the most
difficult things that can happen to anyone. The trauma of
intimate violence can shake a person’s experience of being
to the core. The work of exploring this experience with a
view to living in a more comfortable way is a deeply healing
process. The therapist is there, present, as an authentic
witness. They can offer reflections on thoughts, feeling and
sensations, observed behaviours, expressions, and help
access the journey towards recovery.

Robert O Connor was not expecting cheering crowds to greet him on his return to

acted out of principle when he enlisted, as the man had never served any cause other
than his own. That did not bother Robert. If anything, he revelled in the notoriety.
After all, he was destined for bigger and better things than his home village could
offer.
