Survivor Sessions, Part 3: Denali

Hello Sweet One and welcome to the Survivor Series, brought to you by STAR.Due to mature content please do not play this around children. The trauma of SA re-wired my brain - shattered my beliefs - and led to years of self-destruction. I deeply understand the haunting effects of being violated. I have done a tremendous amount of beautiful healing work over the years and it's time for me to gather my courage and vulnerability so that I can share this healing with you. You CAN heal and these Survivor Sessions were created to not only show you that you are not alone, but to also show you the ways that we can heal, release shame, and reclaim our power.Today's episode features Denali. Denali is an Advocate at STAR. She shares so much valuable information on the ways that her crisis center helps those in need and she also shares her personal survivor story.Here are some resources that Denali highly recommends:Bodywork and touch therapies for trauma treatment: Edward Ulm, BSc, CMT, SEPhttps://instagram.com/scienceoftouchMental Health Resources and Encouragement led by Queer, Trans People of color on Instagram https://instagram.com/qtpocmentalhealth Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/QTPOCsupport/Radical self-love and Healing through body acceptance  https://instagram.com/thebodyisnotanapology, https://thebodyisnotanapology.com/Trauma-Informed Therapy Practice  and Life coaching Through a Systemic Trauma-Informed Lens, Specific work around men and masculinity is available as well, Josh Odam https://instagram.com/healingwhileblack Vagal Theory and Community Rooted Healing by Natalie Gutierrez, LMFT https://instagram.com/nataliegutierrezlmftI hope people find these healing spaces nurturing. STAR has so many free resources for you and your loved ones to navigate through this tough time. 24/7 hotline, free Counseling, Advocates, Support Groups, and more! https://staralaska.com/24-hour Free Confidential Crisis Line: In Anchorage: 907-276-7273 Toll-Free: 800-478-8999More healing resources can be found at:https://www.blazebell.com/If you are struggling right now, I hope this episode helps you remember your worthiness and believe in your ability to heal.
