✨🎄💫 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎆✨💛

From all of us at She Shines Therapy, we’re sending love, warmth, and gentle thoughts to everyone during this festive season 🤍✨

With growing numbers of women affected across the UK 🇬🇧 and globally, we know just how important it is that every woman has someone to turn to 🤝💖

And to those not feeling the festive cheer this Christmas 🎄💭 — we see you 🤍

This time of year can feel heavy, lonely, or overwhelming, especially when you’re healing, carrying trauma from past relationships, experiencing domestic abuse, or living with the pain of alienation 💔➡️💫

Many of us truly understand this — we have lived through Christmas while holding trauma, and we have lived Christmas without our children 🎁💔

Please don’t struggle alone 🤍🤝 Let us help you switch off, breathe, and take care of yourselves this Christmas 🌿🕯️ You deserve rest, compassion, and meaningful support 💛

At She Shines Therapy, we bring extensive lived experience and professional psychological expertise 🧠✨ in domestic abuse and alienation. We are trained psychological professionals who also understand these realities first-hand.

We listen without judgement, we understand the complexities, and we walk beside you every step of the way 👣💞
Whether this season feels bright or quiet, joyful or difficult ✨🌙 — you matter 🌟

We stand beside every woman who is surviving, healing, and finding her strength, one step at a time 👣💛

May the New Year bring safety 🕊️, compassion 💐, hope 🌈, and brighter days ahead ✨🌅

With love and purpose 💖,
She Shines Therapy 🌸✨

🎄✨ A Christmas Message for Mothers ✨🎄

Mum 🤍
If you’re facing this Christmas without your children, please hear this 💔➡️💚

🌟 Happiness is still possible — even now.
Your mind may try to take over with painful thoughts 💭

❌ “I shouldn’t feel happy.”
❌ “I’ve failed as a mother.”
❌ “If I enjoy myself, it means I don’t care.”

Pause 🛑
Breathe 🌬
These are thoughts — not truths 🕊

🤍 You are allowed moments of peace

😊 You are allowed to smile, laugh, and enjoy yourself

🎶 You are allowed to feel lightness — without fear or guilt

🌈 Enjoying a moment does NOT take love away from your children

💔 Missing your children does not cancel happiness

🙏 Gratitude does not erase grief

✨ It simply means you are choosing not to let pain steal every moment

🌟 Come back to this moment, Mum:

☕ Hold something warm
🕯 Light a candle
💃🏻 Go on a night out with friends
🎵 Put on music you love
🌬 Take one slow breath
🤍 Remind yourself: I am still a good mum.

💪 This season does NOT define your worth as a mother

💞 Your love is still real, powerful, and unbreakable

🌱 Hope can grow — even in winter

❤️ Any mother who is struggling this Christmas — wherever you are and whatever you’re facing — can reach out to us anytime. You are not alone. ❤️

🎄 Sending strength 💪 peace 🕊 and permission to enjoy ✨ to every mum this Christmas 🤍

🎄✨ Festive Night-Out Safety Tips for Women ✨🎄

Going out should be about fun, freedom, and feeling amazing — not fear.
This Christmas and New Year, stay alert and look out for each other 💖

👭 Stick Together
Arrive, check in, and leave together.

📍 Share Your Location
Let someone you trust know where you are.

🍸 Watch Your Drink
Never leave it unattended. If it tastes off, don’t drink it.

🚫 No Means No
Trust your instincts. You don’t owe anyone your attention or your body.

🚕 Plan Your Way Home
Book transport in advance or agree on a safe route.

🧠 Trust Your Gut
If something feels off, it probably is.

👗✨ Wear What Makes You Feel Amazing
Confidence is yours. Harassment is never your fault.

🫶 Look Out for Each Other
Even a simple “Are you okay?” can make a difference.

🤍 You Are Not Alone
If you’re worried or need support, reach out to us anytime. We will listen and we will help.

💖 You deserve safety, joy, and freedom — this Christmas and into the New Year.

🎄🚨 IMPORTANT FESTIVE SAFETY MESSAGE 🚨🎄

Christmas and the New Year are not safe times for everyone.

For many women and girls, violence, control and harassment increase during this period — often behind closed doors and in public spaces.

⚠️ Please be alert to:

🚩 Controlling, jealous or threatening behaviour

🍷 Pressure to drink or go somewhere you don’t want to

📵 Being isolated from friends, family or support

😡 Intimidation, harassment or unwanted attention

🧠 That gut feeling telling you something isn’t right

👗✨ You should be able to wear what you want — whatever makes you feel beautiful, confident and attractive — without fear of harassment, abuse or violence from men.
The responsibility is never on women to change how they dress.

❤️ Trust yourself.

👭 Stick together.

📍 Share your location.

🚕 Get home safely.

💖 To every woman and girl:

You matter. You are believed. You deserve safety, respect and love — this Christmas, the New Year, and always.

✨ Help is available. You are not alone.

Please share to help protect others. 💫💞

Parental alienation isn’t protection—it’s control. If you’re blocking love, you’re not shielding your child. You’re stealing their peace. 💔

🎄💛 For the kids told “they don’t care enough to see you” this Christmas 💛🎄

If someone said that and it hurts inside… this is for you.

✨ A parent can still love you even if you can’t see them.

✨ Sometimes grown‑ups get stuck in problems that keep them away — it’s not your fault.

✨ Love is real in the hugs you remember, the bedtime stories, the way your heart knows.

You are not forgotten. You are not “not enough.” You are loved. 💛

It’s okay to miss someone at Christmas. It’s okay to feel sad when others seem happy.

But please remember:

🎁 You are as special as the star on the tree.

🎅 You are as wanted as the presents under it.

✨ You shine brighter than the Christmas lights.

Even if this Christmas feels different, you are loved more than you know. 🎄💫

🗣️ To every parent or family member fighting silent battles this December:

You’re not alone. ❤️‍🩹
Your hope is strength.
Your heart is heroic.

Keep going, your story isn’t finished. 💚🎗️💙

When Penelope* reported her abusive ex-partner to the police for r**e and coercive control, she thought the worst of her experience was over. ‘It was, in fact, yet to come,’ she says. When Penelope finally got her day in court, she was subjected to four-and-a-half hours of  cross examination, during which she was, ‘interrogated about previous experiences of sexual abuse I endured as a child.’
 
Penelope’s far from the only survivor to experience this. According to charity End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW), far too often women are seeing past allegations brought up during cross-examination in court, or they are used as an excuse by the police or CPS to drop a case. Why? Because it’s seen as evidence of ‘bad character’, so victims are unlikely to win over a jury if they’ve reported abuse before.
 
Now, Grazia is campaigning with EVAW (alongside R**e Crisis England & Wales, Centre for Women’s Justice, Imkaan and Rights of Women) to add an amendment to the Victim and Courts Bill which would ban this practice entirely.

OnlyFans Can Solve Money Problems 💸✨
…but at What Cost? 🤔💔

For many women, OnlyFans feels like the quick escape:

fast cash 💵, financial freedom 🔓, and total control 👑.

But the price isn’t always measured in dollars.

Why Women Choose It 💻🔥

💰 Big earnings fast — a lifeline in tough times.

🧘‍♀️ Full autonomy — you choose what, when, and how.

🌐 Normalized online — safer than in-person work.

But the Costs Hit Hard 😟⚠️

🔍 Privacy disappears — once online, forever online.

🧠 Emotional strain — pressure, burnout, harassment.

👀 Heavy stigma — judgment from society, family, partners.

📉 Unstable income — algorithms and trends rule everything.

💕 Intimacy shifts — dating, boundaries, and self-image change.

💣 Pressure to escalate — “show more for more money.”

🧩 Loss of control — some see you as a toy, not a person.

Does It Fix Money Problems?
Yes 💯… but the trade-off is real.

You may gain:
💸 quick money
🦋 independence
🛡️ stability

But risk:
🕳️ privacy loss
😮‍💨 emotional exhaustion
👎 stigma
🔗 feeling trapped

Most women feel a mix of empowered and conflicted.

The Real Question 🤔💬

“What am I willing to trade for financial security —
and will I still be okay with that choice years from now?”.
