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.
As someone who is in the process of court hearings due to rape and sexual assault. It would be nice to find support and speak to others who are in similar situations.

Healing means to me, being able to live. I have bad anxiety that was triggered after my assault and I often struggle to do things. Healing is focusing on yourself and your inner peace to me. Being able to enjoy things in your own and in others company

There is always light at the end of the tunnel - guaranteed. Never give up. Your victory story will help others. You have a purpose. In my darkest days I wish someone told me this. You are worthy.

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.

I think everyone's journey to healing is different. Personally it has been a endless amount learning and acceptance.

To me, healing means feeling comfortable sharing my story with those I love and being able to recover for myself instead of for the satisfaction of others.

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

you will get through this, let it hurt, let yourself cry. don't dwell on your past, instead focus on the present.

Healing to me means cleansing my mind from the memories of traumatic events, and realising that whatever took place was beyond my control and wasn’t my fault. to turn your pain into power. Healing

Try and focus on making it to the next moment… eventually you\'ll string up enough time that you’ve made growth.

What’s the next thing you’re looking forward to? It could be as simple at a sunrise.

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.
