Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Shame. Disgust. Betrayal. Terror. Panic. Helplessness. Rage. These are the common emotions that haunt or plague many survivors of sexual abuse. Further, sexual abuse can leave survivors feeling fragmented and dehumanized. These emotions are often only one part of struggling to survive, with flashbacks and trauma responses often frustrating or flooding survivors. Many survivors often wonder if they will ever feel "normal" again after what has happened, if it is even possible to find safety again within and outside of themselves. In my work with survivors, my clients discover what it means to be grounded again within their bodies, to find their bodies safe again, and to release trauma that has limited them for so long.

Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Examples of scenarios that survivors might experience, which inspire them to seek help from others to heal, include:
Uncommon reactions to situations
Continued struggles with feelings and emotions
Sexual dysfunction
New experiences trigger past traumas
Survivors of sexual abuse have found that recognizing their trauma, speaking about it with others, and seeking justice are essential parts of healing. Those who engage with the healing process can move past their trauma and live healthy lives and eliminate some or all of the struggles they have experienced when coping with their trauma on their own.
