"It took me years to fully come back into my body after the abuse. But through gentle movement, self-compassion, and the guidance of my therapist, I was able to slowly but surely reconnect with the parts of myself that I had long ago learned to shut out."

The journey to reconnect with your body and feelings is challenging but rewarding. With time, effort, and the right support, you can regain control over your physical and emotional well-being. This opens the door to a future with more self-awareness, strength, and happiness.

How a sexual assault survivor is questioned by police can greatly influence the ability to access memories of that traumatic incident. Better interview techniques might help solve more cases.

Our Story - PleaseNote : This is a public page.

“It was while sitting, locked inside my upstairs bathroom after a flashback, that EmpowerSurvivors was born. I just couldn’t believe that the pain of childhood sexual abuse that I had pushed so far back in my mind could come back with such vengeance. The flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, hyper vigilance, nightmares and suicidal thoughts seemed to take over my life and I thought I was going crazy. I didn’t know who I could tell or even if I should. How could this kind of thing be happening to children and adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and no one was talking about this? No one was helping? I just couldn’t accept that.” - Elizabeth Sullivan

EmpowerSurvivors was created and founded by Elizabeth Sullivan in 2014. It was during her own healing journey that she realized survivors needed an organization that would create a “safe place” for support, provide resources and educate survivors to better understand their own healing journey and how the child abuse done to them so many years ago could manifest itself into every fiber of their being.

Today , EmpowerSurvivors, is a 501c3 charitable nonprofit organization based in Stillwater,MN. EmpowerSurvivors supports survivors locally, nationally and worldwide. We believe uniting our voices, supporting survivors on their healing journey’s , educating communities on childhood sexual abuse and prevention is the only way to lower the statistics and adverse childhood experiences that are at epidemic levels.

Today we offer online and offline peer support for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, support the family and friends of survivors, offer classes, educate the community on child abuse and prevention and currently hold a annual event for survivors and community called “Giving Voice”.
