Modalities
Healing from trauma is a deeply personal journey, and no two paths are the same. Different therapeutic modalities offer diverse tools and techniques to support your recovery, empowering you to choose the approaches that resonate most with your unique needs and circumstances. From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to Internal Family Systems and somatic practices, each modality provides pathways to resilience, growth, and self-discovery.At No Longer Silent, we embrace a survivor-centered approach, recognizing that what works for one person may not work for another. We encourage you to explore various options at your own pace, combining or experimenting with modalities to find what best supports your healing.Recovery is not one-size-fits-all, and your path is valid. With curiosity, self-discovery, and a commitment to your well-being, you can shape a healing journey that empowers you to reclaim your strength and thrive. Explore these modalities and take steps toward growth and resilience.
Grounding Toolbox
Grounding is a technique used to calm and stabilize the nervous system by focusing on the present moment, helping to ease anxiety and overwhelming emotions. By redirecting attention to what’s immediately around you—such as what you can see, hear, or touch—grounding helps break the cycle of distressing thoughts, allowing you to feel more balanced and centered. This simple, effective practice is a powerful tool for regulating emotions and promoting resilience in the journey of trauma recovery. At No Longer Silent, we encourage you to explore these grounding techniques and incorporate them into your healing process. There’s no right or wrong way to ground yourself—it’s about finding what brings you comfort, presence, and strength as you continue on your journey to wholeness. Explore our classes, support sessions, and resources to help you discover grounding tools that work best for you.
Expanding our vocabulary
In the journey of trauma healing, the words we use matter. Expanding your vocabulary with trauma-informed language can open new pathways to understanding and healing that may have felt out of reach before. Learning terms like "self-compassion," "boundaries," "validation," and "empowerment" equips you with concepts that validate your experience, offering clarity and direction on your path. Each new word learned can deepen your self-awareness and give language to feelings and experiences that may have previously felt confusing or isolating. We believe in the importance of continual growth: never stop learning, never stop growing, and never stop healing. By understanding these terms, survivors can build a stronger foundation for their healing and advocate for their needs with confidence and clarity. At No Longer Silent, we are here to help you learn, grow, and reclaim your voice.
Bookshelf
At No Longer Silent, we believe that knowledge is a powerful tool for healing. Educating ourselves through trusted resources can deepen self-understanding, offer validation, and provide guidance on the journey to recovery. These books have been transformative on our own paths and come highly recommended for anyone looking to explore and heal from sexual, narcissistic, or spiritual abuse.
