Never share your body if you're not comfortable. Your bodies are temples!
Message of Healing
My version of healing is to forgive and forget, but I'm not ready to forgive and I'm definitely never forgetting.
When I was about 11, I went on tiktok and had a new friend alert so I friended him them back and we started talking he lied to me and told me he was 12, so fast forward, I got his snap and I was clueless bc he would never show me his face or call me when I sent him like 10 pictures of my face. Then once we started becoming friends, we did this to get to know you game, then he told me to send nudes and I complied. Then in exchange he sent me pictures and then it led to video chats and then he cummed to me and I felt disgusted so i blocked him. Then I had another guy who tried to take me purity but I had learned enough to recognize I was being SA'ed so then I blocked him too. I feel nasty and a burden. Please help!

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.
