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.

I also believe in hope, and in your strength. I got out of a violent, abusive marriage despite the fact few people believed my story at first. Don't worry about proving anything, just take the next step to help yourself heal, you are worth it, and deserve peace.

Acceptance of personal space and keeping unlearning people away, as a means of not giving second or third chances cause change is internal and external and requires a managing.

Help is everywhere don't try to be scared to look for help to somebody you know you could give trust to.

Healing is accepting the things you cannot change. And trusting that God has you no matter what.

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.

Healing means to me, knowing it's okay to take care of yourself first and not feel bad about it. It is okay to get the right help and say, "no, I am not having a good day today". Giving yourself permission to feel, except and try again.

Healing for me is being able to feel alive and well that all ican say right now .

Healing is learning to be compassionate toward yourself, believing in yourself, and forgiving yourself.

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

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

Not giving anyone no reaction is the best reaction. When we choice not to fight they think they won. But they don't really understand having a piece of mind

You are loved and you are needed. You deserve love that doesn’t hurt.

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.
