Trauma can make life feel unpredictable and out of our control at times.

When that happens, it can be helpful to remember that there are still things within your power.

The choices you make every day (big or small) can help create a sense of safety, stability, and calm when the world around you feels overwhelming.

💜 You can control the boundaries you set. Your needs matter, and it's okay to protect your peace.

💜 You can control how you speak to yourself. Self-compassion can go a long way, especially on difficult days.

💜 You can control who receives your time and energy. Not everyone deserves access to you.

💜 You can control the pace you move at. Healing isn't linear, and there is no deadline for your recovery.

💜 You can control how you care for yourself. Rest, nourishment, movement, and joy are all valid forms of self-care.

💜 You can control when and how you ask for support. Support will be there when you're ready, and you never have to navigate healing alone.

Remember: regaining a sense of control doesn't always come from making big changes. Sometimes it starts with one small choice, one boundary, or one act of kindness toward yourself.

Looking for tools to support your healing journey? Visit SSAIC's Survivor's Toolkit at ssaic.ca under "Learning & Resources." You'll find mindfulness meditations, a trigger log, grounding exercises, and other helpful resources designed to support your healing and well-being.

Higher Perspective

If you fight against reality you will lose. Our internal suffering is often based in our avoidance and the measures we take to stay away from something we need to accept and move forward with. Typical situations that we tend to ignore involve relationships and the dilemma we find ourselves in. That dilemma involves something that in so many cases is vital, but with difficult people, it becomes our biggest abuser, and that’s hope. Hope feels morally right, but it comes with assumptions and expectations that all people can become who we “hope” for them to be. But at some point, you have to snap out of your delusions when you see a pattern of inconsistency and chaos and that individuals avoidance of their own responsibility. Each relationship has their own unique identity and interactions. And you have the right to tolerate whatever situation you are facing, however you are not morally obligated nor responsible to stay connected to someone who ignores their dysfunction while insisting you have to. Pick a lane, and stay consistent. Don’t add chaos, just a simple commitment to your own wellness while you re-examine your boundaries and decide what is and is not tolerable. Choose your pain. Stay in the chaos and continue the merry go round of stress or get off and mentally wish them well if you confirm that REALITY is not going to become the fantasy world you stay tethered to with the handcuffs of hope. Grieve what you held onto, grieve the lost opportunities you missed while you were consumed by their abuse, grieve the future you imagined was possible. The grieving process will eventually lead you to the future you deserve. No merry go round, lots of peace. 🎠🙏🏼❤️

Q***r folks have *always* existed, long before any of our time on this earth, and long before European contact with the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island.

For centuries, gender- and sexually-diverse Indigenous people were murdered for these reasons, or forced to hide their true selves for safety.

They were shunned from communities and forced to conform.

And this isn't just "a long time ago"...this happened as recently as Residential Schools.

To this day, many Two Spirit and LGBTQ+ Indigenous folks still meet barriers connecting with their culture or home communities (thanks, colonization and attempted erasure).

Q***r Indigenous folks have always, will always, and should always, exist and shine and be as loud and visible as they want.
