Module 5 - Who can I turn to?

The Reflection Journal — Module 5: Who Can I Turn To?

Finding the right person for each problem

By now you may have a long list of things you don’t know. Somewhere to live. Money. Questions about the children. Fear about what might happen next.

No single person can solve all of that. What you need is the right person for each problem, and the confidence to ask.

Module 5 helps you build your support network: the professionals who can answer specific questions, and the steady people who can sit beside you. It’s written by a survivor who once had a lawyer tell her she “sounded manic” when she was simply terrified, and who learned how to be heard anyway.

What’s inside

• Two kinds of support: professionals who can act, and people who steady you.
• Specialist advocates and your doctor: who they are, what they can do, and why a medical record can matter later.
• Use your own words: describing your experience clearly, without sounding like your lawyer.
• Talking to a lawyer: the plain questions worth asking, and why distress isn’t weakness.
• School, work, and family who want to “fix it”: what to ask for, and where to draw the line.
• Ask before you tell: understanding confidentiality before you share sensitive details.
• When you have to repeat your story, and what to do when a professional doesn’t listen.
• Who’s joining the dots? Keeping track when several services are involved.
• Support for your children, and for you: counselling, peer support, and what to avoid.
• Two journals: a safe record of facts, and a small daily record of good things.
• Free, confidential helplines for the UK, US and Australia, and how to find yours elsewhere.
