      What lovely, inspiring posts 🙂
      For me it was, and still is,
      * completely moving away from the environment in which the abuse happened and limiting contact to ex-friends and family who did not believe or support me
      * making new friends and daring to ask them for help when I need it
      * walking
      * the sea, swimming in the cold water
      * feeling connected to other survivors – podcasts, social media
      * talking to an amazing support worker
      * writing and making things
      * reading about trauma

      Hi KIP. Thanks for the reply! It gives me hope to hear that you’ve sorted out your trauma (and well done!). I speak to a support worker from rape crisis regularly and she’s amazing, but I haven’t had any trauma counselling yet. I’m on a (very long) waiting list for therapy, but have started thinking about going private. Has therapy helped you?
