you can do it youre amazing trauma therapy is worth it you look incredible in those clothes I'm so proud of you for the work you're doing
i've done lots of trauma work. lots and lots and lots. it's been really, really helpful. I'm still not entirely comfortable with saying I was r*ped verbally, but I'm getting there. I've come to terms w it in my head. and I'm pretty sure that's the first place to start. learning and reprocessing se*ual trauma is really, really freaking scary. I'm so f*cking proud of yall for doing it. you deserve to heal you are worth it you're amazing you're beautiful you're butt looks great in those pants

Message to a Survivor
i haven't even started my own journey yet. if I were to give advice, it would be to be patient with yourself and don't push yourself to admit things that you're not ready to. it took me many months of talking it thru with my therapist and ongoing discussions to even utter the words "abuse". and even longer to fathom that I had been thru sexual trauma.
not really sure where to start- but I'm 25, and I'm just starting to come to terms with the fact that I was sexually abused by my partner.
