Every once in a while, I find myself reaching for the affirmation deck after a few weeks. In that moment, its profound utility and significance wash over me.

Its value is unmistakable, a reminder of the support it provides. I’d be deeply grateful if you’d consider sharing how the deck has made a difference in your life in the comments.

I saw a random video today talking about three important words that helped someone achieve a lot of their goals
In their life. This video really resonated with me. The concept really resonated with me. The three words that changed her life were “that’s for me.”
Every time she saw something around her that she wanted for her own life she would say to herself “that’s for me “.
And overtime that manifestation created her reality, which was the life that she wanted. From now on I’ll just be saying that’s for me” all the time”. Thank you for the powerful advice

When I originally compiled the affirmation for myself 2 years after I reported what happened I couldn’t really read them.
My dad came over and I told him I was working on an affirmation deck for survivors and he wanted to hear the affirmations. They felt like lava coming out of my throat. Like the words didn’t belong to be. I didn’t believe I was worthy of healing and I was ashamed and that’s when it really clicked. I was not the only feeling this way and others need these words too.
I can’t go and meet with everyone who needs support after assault and help them believe these words in these decks. But I can make them accessible to them.
I’m proud of and your ongoing support for what I am doing is amazing and you are the best.

I think that’s what healing looks like sometimes. I always thought that if I was truly healed I wouldn’t think about what happened at all. I thought my mind would be free of remembering and hurting when I thought about it.

But I still think about and when I do I think about how bad it was and wrong and how it shouldn’t have happened.

There are some weeks I think about what happened everyday. And there are some weeks I don’t think about what happened at all. I think that’s what healing really looks like for me.

I made the cards because hearing “it wasn’t your fault” and “you’re allowed to be angry” from my attorneys and therapist and family was helpful but I realized the person I really needed to hear it from was myself.
I really needed to believe those words when they came from my own mouth. I deserved to believe them. And you do too.

Hearing these words from yourself is the most important thing.
I found hearing them from myself had more impact then hearing them from anyone else. My attorneys, therapist, spouse, family. They all said them and I heard them the loudest when I said them to myself.

The deck is so important for survivors healing. There are so many things survivors deserve to hear. There are so many things they deserve to believe. The deck teaches them to believe those things. It teaches me to believe them.
If you guys have pretty photos of the decks that you’ve taken can you tag me in them? 🖤

Gentle reminder for all of you who have decided to become lawyers, advocates, therapists, psychologists and law makers after what happened.

There are times I have been so hard on myself for just enjoying life. Like in a world where bad things happened I’m not allowed to be happy.
But being happy doesn’t mean bad thing don’t happen.
Enjoying a moment doesn’t mean bad times haven’t happened.
I’m allowed to enjoy happy times when I want to. And so are you.

I really wish this wasn’t true but it is and I know it’s the reality for so many of us.

Reasons I LOVE this book:
As an duly trying to understand what happened to me it explained grooming clearly and simply.
It helped me identify literally everything the person who chose to groom and abuse me did. It explained ways to keep myself safe and in turn keep my children safe using the same guideline and red flags for tricky people. This book is gold. Not just for teens. For people.

After I realized what happened to me I needed support. I needed support from those around. My therapist. My family. My friends. But I needed it most from myself. The solitude I felt in what happened was like nothing I’d ever felt. I was scared and I didn’t love what I was going through and I didn’t love myself. I made the deck to help myself learn to love life again.
The deck is available in my Etsy shop.

Survivors aren’t trying to be downers. When people talk about a time in their life that was exciting and my experience wasn’t the same that doesn’t mean anything other than in that I’m maybe triggered by the conversation. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be a part of it, it just means it’s not the same for me.
