About Safe Harbor Healing
Safe Harbor is a metaphor for safety and refuge, where individuals can find peace and healing, much like a harbor provides protection from the storm. This space is primarily dedicated to Healing Circles—a safe, compassionate virtual environment designed specifically for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Through these monthly sessions, survivors connect with one another, share their experiences, and access the tools and resources necessary for their healing journey.

"Finding Strength in My Story: A Survivor's Journey"
My Story
Growing up, I faced experiences that no child should ever have to endure. For years, I carried the weight of silence, fear, and confusion, not knowing how to speak about the pain I was experiencing. The scars from these years have shaped who I am today—often in ways that are hard to put into words. My journey has been filled with moments of darkness, but it’s also been a journey of survival and strength. I’m still healing, still working through the layers of trauma, but I know now that healing is not linear—it’s a process, and every day is part of that fight.
​​
​A Message for Survivors
To anyone who has experienced similar pain: You are not alone. This journey is complicated, and it often feels like an endless battle, but there is strength in each step, no matter how small it may seem. I share my story because I want survivors to know that it’s okay to still be in the process. It’s okay to not have all the answers yet. What matters is that you keep moving forward. You are deserving of peace, of healing, and of reclaiming your life, and this space is for those who are ready to take that next step—no matter where you are in your journey.
