Sexual Abuse Recovery & Healing

You are not alone. Healing and wholeness are possible.

Were you sexually abused?

You are not alone. One in every three women and one in every seven boys are sexually abused before the age of 18.

If you were sexually abused as a child or young person, you may still be carrying the long-term effects in your life today. You may experience difficulties at work, in relationships, commitment, intimacy, or within your own family. You may struggle with feelings of shame or believe that something is wrong with you. Many of these struggles are directly linked to the trauma of abuse.

The damage and trauma caused by sexual abuse do not automatically end when the abuse stops; long-term consequences can continue to interfere with your day-to-day wellbeing until they are safely processed.

How can I be healed?

The most important truth you need to know is that it is possible to be healed. You do not have to live with the consequences of abuse for the rest of your life. You can experience life in abundance again.

Living in abundance is far more than placing band-aids over symptoms or merely surviving from day to day. Abundance means experiencing genuine wholeness, peace of mind, fulfilment in your life and work, and healthy love and trust in your relationships.

Don’t you owe it to yourself to break free from the silence and begin your healing journey? Simply reading this page is your first courageous step. Take the next step today β€” every conversation is strictly confidential.
