Affirmations
Affirmations are positive statements that can help you challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts (sexual assault survivors have A LOT of those).
When you repeat them often, and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes in your life.
​
When affirmations are combined with breath work, they become even more impactful.
