Welcome to the National Domestic Violence Awareness Month release of “You Are Not the Hurt: A Reflection Workbook on Reclaiming Voice & Safety.”
 
Experiencing harm in a relationship can shake your sense of safety, identity, and trust.
 
Whether the harm was emotional, physical, financial, or digital, this workbook was created to remind you that what happened to you does not define you.
 
You may still be naming it.
 
You may be in the process of leaving.
 
You may be years removed and still finding pieces of yourself again.
 
Wherever you are, your experience is valid and your healing matters.
 
Inside these pages, you will find reflection prompts that explore the impact of abuse, the weight of shame, and the process of rebuilding self and safety.
 
You will also be invited to imagine the boundaries you deserve, the voice you are reclaiming, and the life you are moving toward.
 
This is a space where your pain is honored but not the only story, where your survival is recognized without judgment, and where your truth can return to the light.
 
Whether you are just beginning to heal or further along in the journey, this guide offers a compassionate place to pause, process, and remember that you are more than what was done to you.
 
You are not the harm.
 
You are not the silence.

You are not the hurt.
 
Let this workbook be an anchor as you reclaim your voice, your safety, and your sense of self.
