Remember - Realize that what happened wasn't your fault.
"We're Survivors"
Give yourself permission to get better.
"Too often we feel like we can't honor our emotions and our feelings, and we have to push past the pain. The logic keeps us from understanding that our feelings matter. What goes on in our hearts matters, what happens to us matters.
Know That It Takes Time.
As much as we'd like to, we can't snap our fingers and make the trauma disappear. It's important to realize healing as a journey and active practice.
Break The Silence.
Most of us found MAO, but a local support would help too. This is your story and no one else's. You have the right to speak your truth even if your voice shakes."
Love your Body.
"Get involved in physical activity so that you're comfortable being in your body. Look at your body in the mirror, it may take time but if you can't accept yourself, no one else will.
Trust and believe there will be cloudy days - but also sunny days too....
"Hang in there"
