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.
Report
You are never alone. You deserve nothing but love, respect, and support. It gets better, even if you can't see the light right now. There is so much more left in store for you, and you will always have an army in your corner.

Don't give up and keep pushing forward. It might feel like there is no hope but I promise there are blue skies and green grass on the other side of the hill.

Jesus loves you and me and He wants us to heal and He WILL punish those who harmed us in the worst way.
Report
Healing was finding my voice. I also forgave my abuser for myself so I could let go of the anger. I would one day love to help others in the same situation.
Report
You deserve to feel and be safe. Love should feel and be safe.

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting, it means accepting and moving forward. For now I can’t accept, but I hope if I manage to get therapy, I will.
Report
Healing is having self-love, self-compassion, and knowing your worth.
Report
Give yourself grace and be patient with the process. There isn't a deadline on healing. To be honest, you may never get over the pain and trauma, but each day you choose to fight and live is another day you get to celebrate.

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.
