This is a space where survivors of trauma and abuse share their stories alongside supportive allies. These stories remind us that hope exists even in dark times. You are never alone in your experience. Healing is possible for everyone.
You are stronger than you think you are. You are more resilient and tenacious than you could ever imagine. You are your own hero and will be the queen of your own destiny. Never give up... and remember self love and self care are the foundation of self preservation.

Healing means the process of discovering that I am worthy of respect. That I'm competent. That I have nothing to be ashamed of.

Healing to me, is watching my daughter grow up and not witness what would have happened to my life (and hers) had I stayed. Knowing that her childhood wasn’t ruined because of me. Healing is slowly putting back the pieces of myself that have been broken for so long. Long before she was born.

. ⸻ Healing, to me, means learning to feel safe again—inside my own body, my own mind, and my children’s world. It’s rebuilding trust with myself, finding stability after chaos, and allowing joy without guilt. Healing isn’t forgetting what happened; it’s choosing to grow beyond it and creating a future where my children and I can live without fear, and with hope.

I’m STILL healing, and every day is work. It will never completely go away, but seeking help, and working on it every day is how we get there.

There is no definition for sexual assault. If you feel like it violated you and your body, those feelings are valid and they deserve to be tended to and healed. Healing is never done, it's a constant process and very complicated! Take your time, breathe, and remember that there is good people out there!

You deserve to feel and be safe. Love should feel and be safe.

Grounding activity
Find a comfortable place to sit. Gently close your eyes and take a couple of deep breaths - in through your nose (count to 3), out through your mouth (count of 3). Now open your eyes and look around you. Name the following out loud:
5 – things you can see (you can look within the room and out of the window)
4 – things you can feel (what is in front of you that you can touch?)
3 – things you can hear
2 – things you can smell
1 – thing you like about yourself.
Take a deep breath to end.
From where you are sitting, look around for things that have a texture or are nice or interesting to look at.
Hold an object in your hand and bring your full focus to it. Look at where shadows fall on parts of it or maybe where there are shapes that form within the object. Feel how heavy or light it is in your hand and what the surface texture feels like under your fingers (This can also be done with a pet if you have one).
Take a deep breath to end.
Ask yourself the following questions and answer them out loud:
1. Where am I?
2. What day of the week is today?
3. What is today’s date?
4. What is the current month?
5. What is the current year?
6. How old am I?
7. What season is it?
Take a deep breath to end.
Put your right hand palm down on your left shoulder. Put your left hand palm down on your right shoulder. Choose a sentence that will strengthen you. For example: “I am powerful.” Say the sentence out loud first and pat your right hand on your left shoulder, then your left hand on your right shoulder.
Alternate the patting. Do ten pats altogether, five on each side, each time repeating your sentences aloud.
Take a deep breath to end.
Cross your arms in front of you and draw them towards your chest. With your right hand, hold your left upper arm. With your left hand, hold your right upper arm. Squeeze gently, and pull your arms inwards. Hold the squeeze for a little while, finding the right amount of squeeze for you in this moment. Hold the tension and release. Then squeeze for a little while again and release. Stay like that for a moment.
Take a deep breath to end.
