Hello,

Welcome and thank you for reaching out to us.

 

I am so sorry to hear what has happened at such a young age and I am sure the thoughts and feelings are confusing and overwhelming for you.

 

It is so important to talk to someone about what you have been through, the energy of traumatic experiences can become trapped in the body when it is not fully processed and cause physical problems down the track.

 

You will always be welcome here anytime you want to talk. However, I think that right now, it is more important to talk to someone in real time who can advise you from a professional perspective. I am including two helplines, both of which would be appropriate for you to talk with. They will also be able to advise what support is available in your area. They are both available 24/7 so please be sure to put these numbers into your phone so you can call any time you need to.

Thinking of you with care,
