Sexual Abuse
Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Sadly, sexual abuse still too often hides in the shadows. Individuals of all genders and sexual orientations often feel compelled to hide their pain from places of shame, self-blame, or fear. Too often, survivors of sexual abuse have not been believed, or have been silenced for others' comfort or in the service of preserving the status quo. At Transforming Emotions, our trauma-informed therapists are ready to help support you through the painful work of healing and recovery at a pace that works for you. We start with a focus on personal safety and building trust with your therapist. Next steps include reducing feelings of shame and and fear, and proceeding to process any memories that haunt you while understanding that those truly responsible for sexual abuse are those who perpetrate it. We end with helping you integrate a new, calmer, more confident and grounded sense of self, helping you live more truly in the present rather than being tethered to the past. Reach out today to help us better understand your unique needs. We will share our recommendations for therapists who may be the best match for you, and we will provide access to a free 20 minute consultation with team members you may be interested in working with allowing you to tell us which team member feels like the right fit for you. Contact us today to take your next step towards healing.

Sexual Abuse
EMDR Therapy Toronto - Heal Anxiety, PTSD, Childhood Trauma - Ayan Mukherjee
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified EMDR Therapist & Consultant
Sexual abuse survivors need a safe, sensitive, non-judgmental and trauma-informed therapy setting to experience effective healing. Talk therapy typically requires survivors to recount the details of the sexual abuse without offering a neurobiological pathway to process it, thus often leaving the survivor triggered and retraumatized. I have processed hundreds of sexual abuse memories using EMDR Therapy which does not require us discussing the details, with the bulk of the trauma processing happening in silence. You can always share your experience if you need it to be heard, witnessed and validated. We will also process any persisting second order effects of sexual abuse, such as self-loathing, dissociation, hypersexualization, trust issues, etc. Email me for a free 30-min phone consultation to discuss more.
