Healing your soul & brain, getting to know your new survivor-self is hard work. You are worth every effort & self-care step. #SurvivorRealm

@RhiaCrewe This spoke volumes to me, and it contributes to low self-esteem as I find myself constantly misinterpreting people.

@DrDoyleSays I am going through this dynamic with an attorney who consistently berates me for my now extensive trauma symptoms. I have to stop myself from blaming myself, and his criticisms hurt deeply.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

It takes more than "willpower" to undo the conditioning that trauma inflicts upon our nervous system.

We're not gonna "gut" our way out of PTSD-- we gotta work a recovery plan that realistically gives us options for feeling safe & continuing to function.

You can do this.

[Revenge Stalking Survivor @RevengeStalking]

1 out of every 7 stalking victims is forced to relocate.

The perception that moving increases safety is WRONG.

Removing the victim from friends, their career, etc. increases vulnerability!

Try forcing the perpetrator out of his nest. He’s not going, is he?

After I survived a heavily armed stranger #rape & went through a rape kit exam, still traumatized, just years later, the @CityofTampa emptied evidence lockers.

Every rape kit/#DNA must be tested, & investigations completed for every victim. #EndtheBacklog #testallkits #Tampa

[Revenge Stalking Survivor @RevengeStalking]

The reality of #victim services:
NOT victim focused,
NOT survivor focused.
PERPETRATOR focused.
Still.

After 6+ yrs on panic-button system in our home city, I FLED MY OWN LIFE in payment for someone else's crimes. Years fleeing & 2 cross-country relocations. Unsafe. #stalking

[Revenge Stalking Survivor @RevengeStalking]

There is a place and a time. A moment when, despite costly relocations, when I lost all I had, and essentially myself, that violent crimes have simply left too little in their wake . #PTSD is a beast. It won today. Peace out.

@strategywoman Victory has grown so much!

@strategywoman Love your #1minutewalks! Thank you for sharing Ukraine with us ❤️

[Revenge Stalking Survivor @RevengeStalking]

@strategywoman ❤️

[Revenge Stalking Survivor @RevengeStalking]

@strategywoman I am still following you because: I care that you, Vlad and Victory are still safe (mom too). You are an inspiration amidst the war that ravages your beloved Ukraine and provide insight into the war for so many.

[Revenge Stalking Survivor @RevengeStalking]

@strategywoman Happy Friday!

[Revenge Stalking Survivor @RevengeStalking]

@strategywoman I check on you (and Victory & son) as often as I can each day. Always a relief when you are safe & still serving others & working amongst the war. Your view full of hope is barely even tarnished. What can each of us do for YOU? Mention as many wants as you … want😁#warcoffee🇺🇸

[Revenge Stalking Survivor @RevengeStalking]

@strategywoman I’m fine. Just reaching the end of a year long diagnosing/undiagnosing treck. A bit tired, but hopeful, and looking forward.

[Revenge Stalking Survivor @RevengeStalking]

@strategywoman Hope you are resting well 😊.
