You are not too much, even when your feelings, needs, or presence have been made to feel overwhelming by others or by past experiences. There is nothing inherently excessive about being human, about needing care, or about expressing emotion. “Too much” is not a truth about you; it is often a reflection of someone else’s limits, not your worth.

💛 Your Voice Matters 💛

Sharing your experiences helps shape services that truly support survivors. Every insight is valued and makes a difference, and through peer support, your voice can also help others feel heard, understood, and less alone.

As an organisation supporting survivors of sexual trauma, we prioritise trauma-informed practice.

Trauma-informed practice can be framed by following six key principles:
- Safety
- Trustworthiness & Transparency
- Peer Support
- Collaboration & Mutuality
- Empowerment, Voice & Choice
- Cultural, Historical & Gender Awareness.

Cultural, historical and gender awareness means recognising how identity, background and lived experience shape how people understand and engage with support. It involves acknowledging the impact of culture, past and systemic experiences, and gender on safety, trust and access to care. When this awareness is present, people are more likely to feel seen, respected and understood, which helps create a stronger sense of belonging, dignity and safety in support settings.

Surviving and caring for yourself is enough. Your journey doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s.

We all need a gentle reminder of this sometimes – here are a few from us to you. 💛

You are allowed to pause, even when things feel like they are moving quickly around you or when there is pressure to keep going. Stepping back for a moment to breathe, rest, or gather yourself is not falling behind — it is part of staying connected to yourself. Pausing is part of moving forward; it creates the space needed to continue in a way that feels more steady and supported.

As an organisation supporting survivors of sexual trauma, we prioritise trauma-informed practice.

Trauma-informed practice can be framed by following six key principles:
- Safety
- Trustworthiness & Transparency
- Peer Support
- Collaboration & Mutuality
- Empowerment, Voice & Choice
- Cultural, Historical & Gender Awareness.

Empowerment and choice as a principle mean ensuring people have the information, support, and opportunities they need to make their own decisions. As an organisation, this involves offering genuine options, listening to what matters to people, and respecting their decisions in how services are accessed and delivered. When applied consistently, it promotes dignity, trust, and person-centred practice across all interactions.

Staying Informed While Protecting Your Wellbeing

The world is full of challenging news, and for anyone—especially if it relates to your own experiences—engaging with it can feel emotionally draining. Hearing about others’ suffering can stir empathy, which takes real emotional energy, and may trigger memories or feelings from your own past experiences. This can make even small updates feel exhausting.

Here are some ways to stay informed safely, without overwhelming yourself:

Check Multiple Sources – Look at different outlets to get a fuller picture and spot bias.

Question What Doesn’t Fit – If something doesn’t make sense, take a moment to dig deeper and understand why.

Look for Evidence – Reliable news is backed by data, experts, or trusted sources.

Be Aware of Clickbait – Headlines are designed to grab attention; be cautious of exaggeration.

Seek Balanced Narratives – Look for stories that include both challenges and solutions.

Not everyone follows these steps, so it’s okay to question second-hand information. Being informed is important, but protecting your wellbeing matters too.

What you feel makes sense, even when it feels unclear, overwhelming, or difficult to put into words. Emotions don’t always arrive with explanations, especially when they are shaped by past experiences or held in the body over time. Sense can exist without explanation; your feelings are still valid, even before you fully understand where they come from.
