When I feel safe, Healing is undoing the pain by living the life I have, doing the things I missed out in life, things I've never allowed to experience before, being fully in control and never have to look over my shoulder in fear.

Healing is acceptance, healing is patience with yourself, healing is self compassion.

Healing, to me, is a constantly evolving. It started with accepting what had happened to me. I hope that one day I will confide in someone about my experience and truly heal from it.

I want to be able to walk down the street of my hometown alone again. Maybe in numbermore years it's something I could be able to do.

For me healing is moving in with my life and not letting those who have assaulted me take over my life. When I can leave the house and feel safe

Healing to me means realising it was never about me . Its about dominance and control . Its the realisation these people are cowards and predators who prey on the vulnerable of society.

There is always light at the end of the tunnel. There is always hope as "hope is a thing with feathers." There is help out there and there is always someone willing to listen. Things always get better in the end, there is so much more to look forward to. You are not your past trauma. There is a future out there, waiting.

Healing to me means realising none of this was ever my fault - it wasn’t what I was wearing or because I was drunk. And it also means working hard to make sure women and girls are safe

Healing is owning your story, it’s allowing yourself to process what has happened.
Report
You can leave, it’s possible, and there’s better out there.

Healing is been strong in yourself and believing every day that you did not do anything wrong. It was all on the Perpetrator. I have healed and so can anyone. I will never forget. It does leave pivotal marks and edelible scars but you have to live your life and be happy every day and know that you are a Survivor.

Not thinking about what happened all day, every day, 24/7/365. Feeling like myself again. ❤️
