I'm really glad you told me. What you said matters, and I want to make sure you are safe right now.

Are you in immediate danger right now?

What I can and can't do

I'm not a therapist, a doctor, or an emergency service. I won't ask you to keep this a secret, and I can't watch over you between our talks. A real person needs to know.

I won't ask questions to investigate what happened, and I won't contact anyone for you automatically — including anyone who might be part of why you feel unsafe. You choose who to tell, and I'll help you find the words.
