Survivors of Sexual Abuse & Sexual Assault

The trauma from childhood sexual abuse often endures into adulthood and is manifested in emotional, psychological, and interpersonal difficulties. Similarly, the experience of sexual assault can leave survivors feeling a variety of overwhelming and complex emotions including confusion, hopelessness, insecurity, shame, anger, and loss. The group therapy relationship helps facilitate recognition and understanding of the impact of trauma in women's lives. In group, survivors find a common voice which conveys acceptance and emphasizes the power to heal. Group therapy provides the participants the opportunity to connect with other survivors in their efforts to heal the wounds of sexual trauma.
