Today was the annual New Year gathering, in my childhood home - a place where I was sexually abused. I lived there until I was 18. The perpetrator is no longer there but the memories of abuse are - in my old bedroom where he would come to ‘kiss me goodnight’. 1/

The woman, who we are calling Anna, said he was "fascinated" by the fact she dated women and asked her the "logistics" of how it worked.

You need to know it's common for trauma survivors to feel guilt about setting limits, up to & including "no contact," w/ people who trigger us-- but that guilt doesn't mean it was a bad decision.

You are not "bad," "weak," or "stupid" for struggling or experiencing symptoms.
Don't get in your head about experiencing symptoms. Refocus, again & again (& again), on responding to your symptoms w/ patience, compassion, & skill.
This is recovery.

Advocacy isn't about comfort—it's about challenging those who uphold failing systems. Real change doesn’t come from polite tea breaks and back pats. It comes from disrupting the status quo and holding power accountable. Advocacy exists because the world still needs it.

Pretty much every trauma survivor I've ever worked with has been a highly sensitive soul existing in a highly complicated physical situation-- including their body, their housing or living situation, their economic circumstances, & their medical status. For starters.

Huge result today for Angela Sdrinis Legal in Tasmania’s first (and now first successful) class action. Her settlement means 129 Ashley detention survivors share in $75 million compensation for their abuse at the state’s hands. Judge called her work exemplary. #politas
It’s time to close Ashley.
