Dear Survivor,

I don’t know exactly what you have endured or what you have overcome but I know it has been a lot. You have been through more than anyone should have to go through.

What happened was not your fault. However you are feeling is valid and uniquely yours. No one has a right to minimize what happened to you or tell you how to feel.

While our stories may be different, I, too, am a survivor and I see you. I believe you. I stand here beside you. I look forward to discussing how I may be able to support you as you work through your trauma and (re)claim your voice.

❤️ Lauren

Testimonials

“Lauren and her MTMV community have changed my life. I have undergone so much healing over the past year with Lauren's endless support, validation, and love. She sees me for who I am and where I'm at and creates so much safety in her groups and one on ones. She has helped me release and unburden so much of the shame I've carried alone for so long. Lauren has forever changed the course of my healing journey and I am so grateful for her.”

“I really loved the sessions we had together. Lauren really held the space for me and validated my feelings. She helped me so much through my journey and made me feel safe and heard. Also, before I had the sessions, when I was feeling horrible I DMed her and she messaged me back quickly, helping me through my trauma symptoms. After that I decided to have the sessions with her and I am so, so glad I did.”

“I have been participating in different groups and done 1:1 with Lauren for over a year now. She is so thoughtful, kind, and sweet. She goes above and beyond to help you and support you. She has become one of my biggest supporters and someone I trust. I couldn’t do this without her, and of course Tofu!”

“I’ve done Seeking Safety with MeToo Many Voices, and it has been a game-changer in my recovery. I’ve learned so many new skills I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. I like that we don’t talk about details of our trauma, and that it focuses on the present. Being a part of Seeking Safety really does help you find safety in your life and I’m so grateful for this group”

“If you are looking for peer support, or just someone to listen, Lauren is absolutely amazing. As a survivor, I struggle with mental health, self blame, guilt, and Lauren always is so empathetic and understanding. The MTMV community has truly helped in my healing & allows me to feel seen & heard. Thank you to Lauren & MTMV for providing survivors with such a supportive community!”
