How to Regain Control When Your Trauma is Shared

Always stand in your truth. It can be difficult- especially at times you feel vulnerable, violated, or betrayed… but you’re worth showing up for and you’re worth protecting. I’m sending you love & healing. You got this. Screw the outside noise. 💖

Honestly if friends or family is sharing things you aren't ok with talk to them about why and how it's not theirs to share if they don't understand cut them out because that's not ok

This won’t solve it, but I had a therapist who said, “people are going to think what they _want_ to think” For some reason it made me a lot less afraid when trying to anticipate other people’s reactions. I still really struggle(d) but it helps to know when walking in that you really just gotta open up for _you_ and not for the other person

Just remember that no matter what anyone else says about it your trauma is valid, and you don't have to tolerate anyone trying to spread it or make light of it :)
