Having bad days means you are setting yourself back to square one? That's not the case.

Healing is non-linear. Experiencing a difficult day or a trigger does not undo the progress you have already made.

Healing isn't perfection. Whenever you're ready — we're here.

Feeling guilty or shameful means you were somehow responsible? That's not the case.

Shame is often an inherited burden placed on survivors by the actions of others. The responsibility always rests entirely with the perpetrator.

Setting hard boundaries means you are being unfriendly or selfish? That's not the case.

Boundaries are a healthy form of self-preservation. Saying no allows you to reclaim safety and autonomy over your personal space.

Phoenix is pleased to be partnering with Parkerville to host this great event and wonderful opportunity for the sector.

If you can't remember every detail of what happened, it means it wasn't that bad? That's not the case.
Memory loss or fragmentation is a natural neurological defense mechanism during trauma. Incomplete memories do not invalidate your experiences.

A survivor who is angry hasn't moved on from what happened? That's not the case
Anger can be part of processing what happened. It doesn't mean someone is stuck.

It can mean they're finally safe to feel something they weren't allowed to feel before.
Whatever you're feeling right now, it's a safe space here.

Phoenix is back with its weekly Myth and Fact series

Struggling to trust people isn't pushing others away. It often comes from a child’s trust being broken. That's a protective response, not rejection.

Trust in others can be rebuilt, but at a survivor's own pace, not anyone else's.

Whenever you're ready, we're here.

Tonight is the night.

We are 90% sold out and we could not be more grateful for every single person who has chosen to show up for this cause.

Free parking is available behind the cinema.
Please note this event is strictly 18 and over, and Wreckage explores themes of domestic and sexual violence, coercive control, and interpersonal harm. Phoenix team members and counselling staff will be available throughout the evening should anyone require support.

See you tonight.
