Sexual Abuse Therapists in Hopkinsville, KY
Marriage is a sacred and holy covenant ordained by God that takes place between a man and a woman. Any marriage that begins outside of these boundaries is bound for turbulence, and in many cases, utter destruction that impacts generations that arise from it. In fact, today, over half of all marriages will end in divorce. As a counselor who specializes in premarital and marital therapy, I know all too well the various dynamics that lead couples into troubled waters. I am here to prevent you from wading too deeply and to offer a life-preserver for those who have already taken the plunge.

This is not your typical therapy session. For change to occur, we must resource the nervous system in a healthy way to process emotions and feel safe in our bodies. Culturally many of us have been taught to process emotions cognitively and with rationalizing the 'why' of events. However, this doesn't calm our nervous system; in fact, where this way of coping may have served us well at one point in our lives, it may now make the struggle to manage overwhelming emotions harder. Therapies like somatic awareness and brainspotting help to create new neural pathways to feel safe and change how we made meaning of events and core wounding.

We can't control the world around us, but we can control ourselves, and therefore, dictate how we live our lives, happy, and fulfilled.

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.
