From people who came through it

  • โ€œFor someone starting childhood abuse survivors: I know it's hard. I told my mum and she didn't believe me. That hurt more than anything. But you are not alone. I started therapy at 45. It's never too late. Take it slow. One step at a time. And if you need to talk, I'm here. I might not have the right words, but I can listen.โ€

  • โ€œFor anyone new to this: In 2023, that was me. It was remembering in my thirties and I couldn't see past it. I picked up the guitar again.โ€

  • โ€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side. Some days now I forget to be sad. The helpline helped me plan how to leave. I didn't know they did that. Go slowly.โ€

  • โ€œI was in the same place this time last year. What my stepfather did. That was every day. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do.โ€
