It's the "me too's" - for me 🫶💗

When you share an aspect of your story, amongst women that "know" - say perhaps....

*The extreme jaw and arm clenching that I experience when I sleep each and every night - where the pain of clenching actually wakes me up & I've shattered teeth..

And you hear back, those two simple words...

"Me too"

Deep breath.... I'm not alone. Someone else gets it. Feels it. Experiences it.. I'm not crazy! Normalisation. Calm. Compassion. A smile. Breathe out... I'm okay..

Feeling = RELIEF 🙏

💗

Connection IS medicine - physically, mentally & emotionally.

"Dealing" with it, alone, just isn't necessary any more.

We CAN talk about it 🌻

Our next Connection Circle for Adult Female Survivors of CSA & CSV will be held on the 9th of October from 6pm - 8:30pm in Helensvale on the Gold Coast ✨ RISE, is the first and only Connection Circle in Australia of its kind, hosted by a fellow survivor for survivors. We provide adult women over the age of 18, a safe space to speak - and genuinely connect with other women within the community - of shared experience.

Here at RISE, we remove the isolation experienced by survivors. And thru genuine heart felt connection, we find relief in being heard, accepted and understood - by women, that "know".

"Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces"

Welcome to RISE 🦋

*Ceremonial Cacao & Organic Loose Leaf Tea provided.

*FREE Pre-Loved clothing available on the night to rummage thru and take home what you like.

"But....it happened so long ago... Can't you just... Let it go?"

If only it was that simple....

Flashbacks & Re-experiencing - CPTSD
Somatic & Procedural memories
Nervous System responses
Triggers - known and unknown
Anxiety - Depression
The fears!
Fight, Flight, Freeze & Fawn
Attachment disorders
Mental health conditions
Emotional dysregulation
Self isolating
Dissociation

Just to name a few... And sometimes.. that's all before lunch on any given day!

Choosing, to "just...let it go.." isn't an option, for those that have had their entire systems hijacked by their traumas. It requires work. Time. Adequate support. Connection. Collaboration. Safe environments. Compassion. Therapeutic practices. Commitment. Dedication. Awareness. Skills & knowledge. The list goes on and on.. And for many... We dedicate our lives, to healing.

What we offer here at Rising Thru The Cracks, is a safe space, to connect with other women, who know, understand and have compassion - for what you went thru AND what you have had to battle thru - since.

Choosing to attend RISE, your first time...is incredibly brave. We know! We have all felt the fears! But once you are here. Once you connect with women of shared experiences, something beautiful happens.... Your nervous system relaxes... You can breathe more deeply...relief enters your system as your body recognises.. it IS safe. You ARE supported. You ARE heard, understood, validated, cared for and part of. The tension in your body dissipates and you have a greater capacity - to RISE 🌻

What we can provide here at Rising thru the Cracks, needs to be experienced, to be understood.

Our next Connection Circle is held on the Thursday the 4th September at 6pm on the Gold Coast. We would love you to join us 🙏 ✨

Have you ever had that longing...to speak with another woman - women - who have experienced, what you have experienced? Who understands the various challenges of every day life, caused, by what you went thru? To speak with women...that GET IT? Get the fear...get the anxiety...GET how frightening it can be, to admit to ourselves, let alone speak about it?

That is us.... WE - GET IT 🙏🌻🦋
Here, you are safe to speak and express - if you want to.
Here, you will be believed.
Here, you will be accepted, just as you are - wether you decide to share, or perhaps...just...be part of.
Here, you have the opportunity, to be in a space, around fellow women, who compassionately understand.

Our next Connection Circle for Adult Female Survivors 18+ of Childhood Sexual Abuse CSA & Childhood Sexual Violence CSV - hosted by a fellow survivor - will be held in Helensvale on the Gold Coast, on the evening of the 4th of September.

To attend, simply send us a direct message.

We look forward to welcoming you 🙏✨🌿

Here at Rising Thru The Cracks - we do what we can, to support our community 🙏💗 We regularly receive donations of good quality Pre-Loved clothing from the public, friends and attendees of our various events, which are then passed on, to women directly - whom have experienced CSA & CSV. Those of us who know, the impacts of this abuse and how it affects our daily lives, know that every little bit of support, counts. We receive donations freely - we pass them on freely 🙏🦋 Thank you to all whom contribute 💖 It matters.
