You’ve been through experiences that still affect how safe, connected, or confident you feel, especially in your body and relationships. Maybe you notice tension that never seems to go away, your heart racing for no reason, or a sense of numbness or disconnection. Trauma often shows up in the body long after the event has passed, influencing how we think, feel, and relate to others. You might be longing to feel calm again, to trust your body, enjoy closeness, and move through life without the past constantly resurfacing.

As human beings, we learn to live in this world through our experiences. Our experiences shape the ways that we relate to others. We create patterns and behaviours as a response to these experiences. These ways of relating often sit outside our awareness, leaving us feeling confused and unsure as to why we feel so sad, afraid, angry, anxious, tired, hopeless, or alone.

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.
