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, 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.

Healing takes time and isn’t linear. Do things that allow you to cope healthily and don’t feel bad for letting other things go. Perspective and having the right language to name what your experienced is so important.
Report
Reminding yourself you aren’t crazy. Read books and articles about spiritual abuse. Find a safe church- they do exist though it’s hard to start over. Realize God’s love is never ending and deeper than you can imagine. Have boundaries and don’t be afraid to speak truth when you choose.

What happened to you is not on you, it's on them. It's a part of your story but it is not your whole story. You are stronger than you think you are.

Healing means breaking the cycle. Healing means helping others through their pain by teaching them what we’ve learned along the way in hopes that they can avoid it.
Report
Healing is accepting the things you cannot change. And trusting that God has you no matter what.

It does get better and no matter what, always remember: ITS NOT YOUR FAULT! I am doing much better now and I am in a stable and loving relationship with a respectful guy almost 2 years later. You are loved and you are strong. You got this!

Healing for me is when you forget to be scared of walking into your abuser every step you take

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.
