After harm

This area is for understanding what is happening in you after something harmful, and for settling. It is not a treatment programme.

Please read this first

Nothing here asks you to go back into a traumatic memory. Processing a trauma is work to do with a therapist who can hold it with you, not alone with a website. If you start to feel far away, unreal, or flooded while reading, stop and come back another time.

About this theme

This explains an approach used in therapy. It is not a set of instructions to follow alone.

When you are ready, face the hard memory in small, bearable doses, with support, not all at once and not never.

Avoiding forever keeps the fear alive; flooding yourself re-wounds. Small, chosen doses are how it loses its grip.
