Domestic Abuse Safety Plan: This practical form can help you to think through some general safety planning tips and to plan ahead for safety after separation.
Before I Blame Myself and Feel Guilty: Survivors of trauma often feel inappropriate guilt or shame about things they did or did not do. Before you blame yourself for what happened to you read about the thinking errors that victims of trauma commonly make. If any are familiar then it may be necessary to adjust your thinking.

This can be extremely upsetting, and it is helpful to find ways that help you to ‘ground’ yourself back in the safety of the present moment.
