Do experiences from the past keep coming back to haunt you? Are you stuck and find that your past still impacts your mood, sleep, health, and behaviors well after the experience? Maybe you recreate harmful patterns and are troubled by emotions and memories from an experience long ago. The past not only impacts you but those around you. Some many find themselves angry and irritable and others use substances to numb their pain or engage in behaviors that you know will hurt you, your relationship, or your family in the long run. Despite everything you have tried, you cannot find peace.

The areas of our lives are intricately connected. While problems often have ripple effects, so can solutions. I have been working as a therapist for 25+ years in several types of settings and have logged countless hours with individuals and families. I believe that people often have difficult circumstances that bring them to my office, but introspection and examination of family dynamics can be interesting and enjoyable too.

You are worthy. I believe you are created on purpose and with a purpose. All too often, the environment and people around us highlight all that is wrong with us and/or our situation. Sometimes, that can lead to feeling as if we are not enough or broken. These feelings and experiences can contribute to mental health struggles. I get it because I have been there…life is straight up hard sometimes. However, there is hope! There is a world that exists in which we as individuals can recognize and accept our flaws, while acknowledging we are still awesome in spite of these flaws.

Sexual Abuse Therapists
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
