Attacked by (content redacted) who had known me since I was 14, he then stole my dog and harassed me online. This experience has taught me that I’m made of granite, I’m stronger than steel. I wish I wasn’t because it’s exhausting but I am. I wish I didn’t have to have been strong, forced

In the moments where you are doubting yourself, your truths, your body and mind, just remember that this is YOUR body, YOUR mind and YOUR TRUTH. Abusers take so much from us. We can’t let them take our truth. My truth is that for years during and after the abuse, I felt like I didn’t

Thought I’d share this little nugget of information with you as I found it pretty interesting 🙂 Instead of saying “I’m really anxious” or “I’m angry” “I’m sad”, I was told to say “I am feeling anxious, I am feeling really angry or I’m feeling sad” because we are not our emotions or
I’m a huge fan of emotional freedom technique EFT or tapping as it’s more commonly known. It’s similar to accupuncture but without the needles so it’s less invasive. I find it’s great to use alongside affirmations. I connect really well with it and feel a sense of calmness and emotional release. I find it very

Does anyone know of any beginners mindfulness class I could do online? Preferably a group class! Thanks.
I’m on a healing journey but I don’t know where the destination is, I find myself grieving for the life I once knew and person I knew myself to be, I’m starting over repeatedly trying to rebuild my life, dealing with trauma is the most vicious cycle. As a result of rape, I lost any

In (month) last year I reported my sexual assault to the guards. It’s been a long year and trying to wrap my head around things and process what is happening along side everyday life can be difficult.

I’m really angry that I have to heal and work so hard to heal from something that wasn’t my fault. It’s not fair and I’m struggling with accepting that this is my life tbh. The anger and rage inside me bubbles up and I lash out at my family sometimes. It makes me so sad

I recently discovered that listening to birds chirping and singing for just 6 mins per day is proven to lower anxiety levels. And to be honest, I find it really works. I listen to it on Spotify in the mornings while I’m making my breakfast or just getting ready and it really makes me feel
