“Sexuality affects all individuals from every background; therefore, it should be treated with the utmost respect and importance.” -Brooke Brownlee, AMFT
“The reason why you need emotional support is because it’s important for survivors to be heard. To be understood. To be able to express yourself without fearing criticism or harsh judgement. To be validated for your pain, suffering, and loss. For others to be there for you to encourage you, especially if you’re having a bad day or feeling triggered.”
