Sexual Abuse Recovery
Let’s take the shame out of Sexual Abuse by bringing it out of the shadows and into the light!
Trauma of any kind shapes our lives – how we live, how we love, how we see the world and how we see ourselves. The road to healing for survivors of sexual abuse is a long and often elusive one as it is a complicated process that needs to be personalized according to the individual.
Victims of sexual abuse often have difficulty identifying the help they require as they are locked in their experience, many having never shared the source of the pain that causes them to feel such deep shame.
When you have been sexually abused as a child, it defines you. When it happens as a teenager or young adult, it destroys the beliefs that make up your foundation. Either way, the experience leaves you with feelings of guilt, shame, fear, anger and often an unfathomable void that you spend your whole life trying to fill. These can affect both your mental and physical wellbeing, prevent you from forming or maintaining intimate relationships and can lead to patterns of addiction, self-sabotage, depression and anxiety.
As a survivor of sexual abuse, I am committed to helping others who have been conditioned by this defining experience in their lives. Through a powerful combination of coaching, hypnosis and meditation, I help my clients to emerge from the shadow of shame that prevents them from embracing themselves and their full potential in all areas of their lives.
As a coach, I can either work with clients directly and accompany them on their journey or I can help them to understand if they need other forms of support. The important thing is to start by emerging from the darkness, facing your secret and acknowledging your pain. Only then will you be able to start freeing yourself from the feelings of guilt and shame and reinvent your life.
