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.
Healing takes time. It doesn’t take a day, a week, or a month. It takes years and years to heal after being treated like shit.

What healing means to me well I've been doing a lot of coping skills like going hiking and cooking it keeps my mind busy

Healing is having self-love, self-compassion, and knowing your worth.

You are worth so much more and are more than enough. If you’re thinking about reaching out for help let this be your sign reach out for help, leave, do it for yourself and your future because you are worth so much more than an abusive partner.
Dear reader, this message contains language of self-harm that some may find triggering or discomforting.

Healing is using my pain to help others. No matter how long it has been or what stage you are in, there is help out there. Resources and non-profits that care in a country that seems like it doesn't. Now more than ever we most reach out and support one another. "Turn your wounds into wisdom" is a tattoo I have to remind me of my post-traumatic growth.

Hope is a good thing I kept my faith and hoped for a change and it happened

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.
