repeat after me: ALL SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS ARE VALID 🗣🗣🗣 all survivors are valid EVEN IF they haven’t talked about publicly. coming forward about sexual assault requires you to even realize you’ve been through it, which can take time for some people to piece together. and even when you’ve realized it, publicly talking about it can be retraumatizing in so many ways. plus, a lot of survivors fear for their own safety by outing their abusers, or fear the possibility of being viewed as a “liar” or “overdramatic.” so to all of my fellow survivors out there: you are valid. you don’t need to tell people about your trauma for it to be valid. i see you, i believe you, and i’m here for you. ✨ — [image description: “all sexual assault survivors are valid, even if they haven’t talked about it publicly” is in big bold text with a black drop shadow. there are sparkles surrounding the text.] — #sexualassaultawarenessmonth #saam #sexualassaultawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthart #healing #...
