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.
I hope you put yourself first. I hope you love yourself first. I hope you look at yourself and say I’m good enough. I hope you have the best support system to help you because you can’t do this on your own. You are not alone. You are somebody that’s worth loving.

Healing is to forgive yourself. Healing is to realize, that the abuse wasn‘t your fault at all. You are wonderful and nobody is allowed to treat you like shit.

You are alone. Don't be shame. Reach out to someone you know. There are organizations out there that can help with emergency housing and food.

Healing means growing into the person I am supposed to be. Healing means that I am taking a stand against future mistreatment and understanding my worth. Healing means accepting help from those who have so freely given it. Healing means supporting others who need it.

Hope is just around the corner. My dad always tells me, “Don’t stop trying, you might be just about to reach your goal.” Life is a roller coaster right? Always remember that when there is bad, there will be good again.

To me healing means finding peace and comfort with yourself it is not easy and takes time but once you do you feel so at peace with yourself it is a healing process
Report
Healing means to finally understand why I allowed the abuse, to realize no one should be able to hurt you in any form of abuse no matter what the situation, to learn to love and value my whole self and to truly forgive so I don't have darkness in my heart.

Healing means forgiving the person you were before you knew what you know now.

Healing is taking control of the part of your story that you previously thought you had little control over. The beginning of middle of your story isn’t the finished product!

The only way is through and some hours will be harder than others. Stand your ground and keep your faith. It WILL pass.

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.
