Physical Abuse

Your physical wounds may have visibly healed from the physical abuse you endured as a child, however the emotional effects can last far into adulthood. This may have occurred at the hands of often parents, siblings, peers at school, or other family members. You may have also witnessed the physical abuse of someone you love growing up. Those who witness abuse often struggle with the same issues as those who are the recipient of the abuse- feeling frozen, hypervigilant, and having an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Whether you were the recipient or the witness, healing can happen for you.
