Life hits us hard sometimes. Our experiences, whether present or past, can overwhelm us by the chaos and confusion of the intense emotions they bring. Or, we can become stuck in place, not able to make a move at all, shutdown and numb to it all. Feeling too much, or, too little, impairs our minds natural, innate capacity to transform life's difficult experiences into something we can grow from and integrate into our new and meaningful life narratives. Sometimes, our relationships can also become chaotic and confusing or just plain mired in repetitive patterns that feel automatic, lacking in intimacy. We can lose ourselves in our relationships, giving more than receiving. Or, we can avoid becoming vulnerable by disconnecting and withdrawing because of the pain of past loss or betrayal. Then, we are missing out on the beauty of human connections to nourish us when we are hurting and even heal us when at their best. To transform "a me and a you" into a healthy "we" is both an art and a science grounded in the learnable skill of empathic communication, mutual understanding, kindness and compassion. Feeling unseen and unheard is the loneliest human experience of all--at any age.

Sexual Abuse Treatment Centers
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.
