  • We believe in the healing power
    of community

    Healing is complex, non-linear and unique to us all, but it’s a journey we can navigate together. See what others have already shared on 'Your Healing', or use some of our prompts to Share Your Journey:

    What Has Your Healing Journey Taught You?
    E.g. “I’ve learned I’m stronger than I give myself credit for.”

    What Challenges Have You Faced?
    E.g. “Coping with the highs and lows of healing has been exhausting.”

    What's Been Helpful For Your Healing?
    E.g. “Journaling helps me process emotions. Therapy's been a game-changer for me.”

    What Have You Let Go Of?
    E.g. “I’ve let go of the belief that I’m broken, damaged and defined by my trauma.”

    Any Wisdom For Survivors?
    E.g. “One day at a time—setbacks are normal.”

    Want To Ask The Community?

The darkest time of my life

I have faced significant trauma at the hands of men . I was raped twice by two ex boyfriends. I went to counselling worked so hard on myself then met the man who I thought was the love of my life and he turned out to be abusive mentally and emotionally. But I am alive and out of these horrible situations I choose to see the good in people . It has taken nearly 10 years of therapy and working hard but it does get better and you will realise you are way more resilient than you ever even knew. There will be bad days but allowing yourself to feel those emotions is ok. It is coming up with ways to get yourself out of them that’s key. I like to listen to classical music or surrounding myself with people who love me really helps.
