Understanding Sexual Abuses

Sexual abuse is any unwanted sexual activity, with perpetrators often using force, making threats, or taking advantage of victims not able to give consent. Sexual abuse can have profound and lasting effects on an individual’s physical and mental health. Survivors may experience feelings of shame, guilt, anger, fear, and isolation. The impact of sexual abuse can manifest in various ways, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and difficulties in relationships.


Symptoms of Trauma from Sexual Abuse

The symptoms resulting from sexual abuse can vary widely but often include:

  • Feeling overwhelmed or anxious
  • Irritability or mood swings
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Muscle tension or headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Changes in appetite
  • Avoidance of responsibilities or social activities
  • Physical symptoms such as stomach issues or increased heart rate

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

By learning new coping strategies and techniques, you can reduce the impact of trauma on your daily life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy specifically designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. This technique can help you reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques

In addition to CBT and EMDR, we incorporate mindfulness and relaxation techniques into our therapy sessions. These techniques can help you manage stress, stay grounded in the present moment, and reduce the intensity of traumatic symptoms.
