Counseling is a sacred experience in which a client and therapist venture into hidden pains, untold stories, and the darkness of sin together. As a Christian, I believe that the healing journey cannot happen apart from the Holy Spirit, the Great Counselor. But as a trained, Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I know that faith communities, Christian family members, and other close Christian relationships often fail to authentically meet us in the depths of our despair and sorrow. With me as your counselor, I hope you will find a spaciousness to be your full imperfect self without fear of judgement or shame.

To the outside world, you have it all together. You’re the person who’s always on top of everything, eyes on the ball, getting things done. But, inside is a different story. People admire your drive, but the truth is you don’t feel like you have any choice but to keep pushing forward. You resent the feeling of being trapped on this path. But you know that if you slow down, even for a moment, you’ll have to deal with the pain you’ve been desperately trying to outrun. Of course, no matter how fast you go, the pain will always be there, ready to overwhelm you the first chance it gets. You don’t know what to do – it feels hopeless.

For clients who are dealing with unhealthy, and sometimes even harmful sexual behaviors, their struggle is often enshrouded in shame and secrecy. These behaviors can affect anyone. Immediate access to pornography and the cloak of anonymity make it easy to become ensnared in unwanted behaviors. For clients who are dealing with concerns about their sexual functioning, it is often due to multiple causes that can be medical, relational, and/or psychological in nature. Often it is difficult to talk about these concerns with others around us given how private and personal these concerns are.

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.
