You're not sure how things got so out of control with your unwanted sexual behavior. You have tried time and again to stop acting out sexually only to end up falling again. Maybe your wife caught you and the marriage is in serious danger or possibly you're single and have struggled to have a healthy, fulfilling relationship because of your sexual habits. Either way, you have come to the realization that you can't do this alone.

We all desire to be loved and accepted, to feel safe and secure, to achieve our goals and fulfill our purpose, and to like who we see in the mirror. Unfortunately, life has a way of placing obstacles on our path that can potentially impair our ability to function at our greatest level. For some of us, these events are so painful that all hope seems to be lost. In order for healing to begin, we need a safe and supportive environment where our thoughts and feelings are validated, where we are able to process and heal from painful experiences, and where we are able to identify our most important needs and meet them in healthy ways.

Trauma can leave you feeling damaged, broken and disconnected from yourself and others. Maybe you're worn out from feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from friends who can’t understand, or burdened with guilt or shame over what happened to you or around you. You may not even remember a time when you didn’t feel this way. But, you’re ready for relief, that's why you are here. You’re ready to have friendships and relationships without your past getting in the way. You’re ready to get up each day with a sense of purpose. Most importantly, you’re ready to like who you are again. You're ready to feel hope for the future.

If you’re here searching through profiles, you might be going through a particularly hard time. Perhaps you are walking through a challenging life experience or you’re feeling unsettled or overwhelmed without an obvious reason. Sometimes we can name exactly what we need support with or want to work on; other times you might have trouble with anxiety symptoms, sleep, low energy, or feeling tearful without knowing why. In either case we deserve relief and to live with more overall ease. Healing isn't just about fixing problems, it's about creating a life that has meaning and joy!

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.
