Did they cross the line? Trust your instincts. If someone is making you uncomfortable, don’t try to convince yourself otherwise. Believe your inner feelings and respond as you feel uncomfortable!

Truth. There is no “right” way to heal.

[Defend Survivors @defendsurvivors]

If you’re manipulating a survivor into ‘healing’ the way you think they ‘should’, you’re not being supportive or trauma informed, you’re being abusive.
