Sexual Abuse

Left untreated, the wounds of incest/childhood sexual abuse can permeate every area of your life as an adult. You might be silently plagued with nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and feeling like something bad is going to happen at any minute. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and maintaining the shame-based belief that the abuse was somehow your fault are all common reactions in adulthood.

   

If you were sexually abused by someone you knew and trusted, you may still be carrying the secret or perhaps speaking your truth led to a divide in your family. As a child, you were left with inability to make sense of what occurred. Without proper healing, you may still carry the false belief that you are damaged and you may feel hopeless.
