“The healing process is best described as a spiral. Survivors go through the stages once, sometimes many times; sometimes in one order, sometimes in another. Each time they hit a stage again, they move up the spiral: they can integrate new information and a broader range of feelings, utilize more resources, take better care of themselves, and make deeper changes.”
– Laura Hough
ACESDV promotes healing through various modalities and is continually working on tools and resources to provide tips and support to survivors. Healing looks different for every survivor and many have found things like yoga, meditation, support groups, sharing their story, art, dance, body movement, spoken word, poetry, journaling, talk therapy, being in community with other survivors, breath work, and getting involved/volunteering for an anti-violence organization positive and supportive additions as they work through healing after experiencing violence or assault.
Some self care and healing tools developed by ACESDV:
Vamos a conectarnos a la tierra. Kit de herramientas para sobrevivientes. (Spanish)
Grounding Worksheet. Building a grounding toolkit can be a great resource when you’re feeling disconnected, anxious, or having negative thoughts. It can be a physical collection of items, or a list of exercises that help you.
KIT de herramientas para conectarse a la tierra. (Spanish)
Vetting your mental health provider. Counseling or therapy allows you to work collaboratively with trained professionals in a confidential space. Many survivors report flashbacks of their assault, feelings of shame, isolation, shock, confusion, and guilt. A mental health provider can help you identify triggers, learn new coping skills, diagnose mental health disorders.
