Most people know about fight or flight responses, but did you know fawn and freeze are also responses to stressful, traumatic, or frightening events? Understanding your own reactions can help make sense of your feelings when something happens around you.

When reviewing your digital devices, start by checking which accounts and apps are logged in. Remove any access you do not recognize and change passwords to something you've never used before. A strong password should not be based on personal details that someone else could easily guess.

It's been a long week. How's everyone doing today?

What does abuse look like? It isn't always physical, abuse can take different forms. At the core, abuse is about power and control, where the abuser tries to take both from the survivor. The power and control wheel describes what that can look like. If you recognize any of these aspects in your own relationship or with someone you love, prioritize your safety and reach out for help. #abuse #safety

Fun fact, before Operation Safe Escape shifted it's mission to focus entirely on helping survivors of intimate partner violence, stalking and harassment, and trafficking, we were an educational org called OSPA, focusing on Operations Security (OPSEC) going back to 2004. This image is from one of our first conferences. We've focused our mission, but still use the same concepts and resources for safety and escape planning today. We're proud of our history, and proud to have evolved into what we are today.
