today i hosted two workshops for dv and sa survivors feeling activated by today’s inauguration. these are some of the prompts we did in case they would be helpful for you in your own time. a common theme was sensitivity to feeling minimized by their loved ones and/or community members. -

1. we set a timer for 5 minutes and each wrote down things that we knew to be true.

2. we set a timer for 3 minutes each to do an uninterrupted rant. at the end of the rant, one could ask for what they needed. most people asked to hear a related story or just wanted to feel heard and not minimized.
