Whether you have a question, need support or simply want to share what you're going through, we're listening.

Send us a message

We're here to help with compassion and without judgement.

Just tell us as much or as little as you feel comfortable sharing. Even if your message simply says 'I'm struggling', we'll know where to begin

Your message will be read by a real person with lived experience, but we are a  volunteer-led service rather than emergency one, so  please be patient with us.  We will always be patient with you.

If you're wondering what to write, or whether your story matters, it does!

Every person deserves a listening ear.  

Maybe people have judged beforehand, or maybe you haven’t given them the chance to show they don’t.  

At some point in our lives, we reach a moment when telling our story is healing.  This innate process can awaken self-knowledge and heal subconscious processes which work against us.  

Opening up, even to ourselves, can bring integration of different parts of our character and help them reach completion of certain stages of life.

Why not take the time to write the story of your life, with or aside from the BFRB?  We always want to hear more about the people we represent and finding out about YOU will assist us as well as you.  If you're wondering what to write, or whether your story matters... it does

The Therapeutic Value of Telling Your Story

Your story can be as simple and short or as long and detailed as feels natural.  We promise, there is always someone here who has the patience, fascination, the interest, the space to read what you write.  Remember, though, that you are doing this for your OWN benefit.  You will know what to write instinctively.  Write as if you will never send it, if it feels better that way.  Don’t send it if you don’t feel comfortable doing so - just writing it can be healing in itself.  

No matter the circumstances or self-blame, even the other people who have stirred up feelings of unrest, or perhaps because of them, you deserve someone to confide in.  

One of us can be that person.  You don’t have to be the people-pleaser in this situation, we’re impressed simply that you are there.  You don’t need to feel confined to certain rules, politics or standards - express yourself openly in a way that feels right.

Your story does not have to have a beginning, a middle or an end and it doesn’t have to open a dialogue.  Just know that we are listening and that if you want to share, we’re open to it.
