Whether a survivor of child sexual abuse, human trafficking, domestic violence, or even witnessing homicide, I have worked in all of these areas and more.
Are you angry? Angry with loved ones, angry with life, even angry with God? Do you feel disillusioned about life and distrustful of others? Did you know that these are classic hallmarks of post-traumatic stress disorder? After surviving a traumatic event, many people experience all of these things and more, which can disrupt every aspect of life. I hope it will encourage you to know that all of these reactions to trauma are completely normal and treatable.

Think you’ll never recover from your trauma? Feel exhausted and constantly triggered? Painful or tragic experiences can get stuck on replay in our heads. After something like that (childhood/adult abuse, fire, flood, tornado grief, etc) we change the way we see the other people, the world in general but especially how we see ourselves. It all gets twisted. And there are ways to untwist the impact of trauma. I am sometimes away with American Red Cross volunteering in Disaster Mental Health.

Do you say “yes” to everyone like it’s your mantra? Do people praise you for being helpful, but you cringe inside? You keep the peace to protect yourself, but carrying everyone's needs is heavy. Guilt sits on your shoulders, your chest tightens, and butterflies dance in your stomach at the thought of saying no. You fear setting a boundary means people will like you less or think you're not good enough. You've tried positive affirmations and nervous system hacks, but you still feel burnout, stuck, and anxious. It's time to go deeper and shine bright for your inner child.

Do you consider yourself a high achiever or go-getter, but recently find yourself feeling stuck in a rut or unable to keep up with life’s pace lately? Are there times when you know you should stand up for yourself, but worry more often how it will affect other people? Well, you are not alone. Adjustments can be hard, and they can draw attention to underlying anxiety, depression and even trauma.

I aim to create a safe place and a trusting relationship that will help you bravely share your story. Once we find the courage to share our truths, the courage to heal and change can come shortly after. Nothing that we experience is wasted story.

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.
