With Survivors, Always: A Special DV Awareness Month Offer
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to stand in solidarity with survivors and to keep their voices at the center. This year’s theme, With Survivors, Always, is both a reminder and a promise: that no one should walk this path alone, and that together we can create spaces of safety, support, and truth.
Making Support More Accessible
In that spirit, I want to make the Supporter space more accessible. For the entire month, I’m offering 35% off annual subscriptions, so that more people can access the reflections, resources, and survivor insights that so many have told me bring clarity and strength.
Why I Create the Supporter Space
For me, Shadows of Control has always been about putting words to experiences that are too often dismissed or silenced. Every week, thousands of survivors read these articles to find validation and understanding. The free posts will always remain, that’s important to me.
But for those who want to go deeper – and for those who help sustain this platform so it can remain free for others - there’s the Supporter tier, which offers:
🔸Personal reflections on life during and after abuse.
🔸Worksheets and resources that offer space to reflect and regain clarity.
🔸Q&A posts where I answer the questions survivors often carry in silence.
🔸Survivor insights gathered around themes to recognise patterns and feel less alone.
🔸An ongoing library of everything published so far in the Supporter tier.
🔸Private chat space - a safe, gentle community where we connect weekly.
Why it Matters
This month’s offer isn’t just about a discount. It’s about making sure these words, reflections, and resources are available to as many people as possible, while still allowing me to continue creating and offering most of my work for free.
If you’ve been considering joining, this month is the moment. Your support keeps this platform alive for those who can’t afford to pay, and it opens a smaller, more personal circle of connection and tools for you.
Together, we remind each other that survivors are never alone.
