Sexual Abuse

Olivia Fermi

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RTC, ConRes Cert
Sexual abuse can happen in many ways. The damage from sexual abuse can be severe with even "minor" violations. If you know or suspect you've been sexually abused, counselling can help. I offer a wholistic approach starting with hearing your story and holding space for you to share your emotions. With body and breathwork we can find a balance that's healing not re-traumatizing. We would also look at the role of culture, religion, and intergenerational trauma -- healing on these levels can be very powerful.

One of the greatest challenges in healing from sexual abuse is opening up about it to others. Many survivors feel ashamed of what happened to them and feel that there is something they could have done to stop it. Others start to question if it even happened or if it was just some big misunderstanding. We know that's not how this works. What happened was done to you, the way you responded was the only option. You did exactly what you needed to do. Sexual trauma can make us feel like we're broken - like there's something wrong with us or like we're permanently damaged. These thoughts are symptoms, not facts. We can help you see things differently - this part of your story does not define you. Imagine a life in which you don't have to keep trying to please others, to struggle silently while trying to keep it all together on the outside, to feel like you can't trust or that you're out of control and to put others' needs consistently above your own. Our goal is to help you regain power and control in your life and to release some of the heaviness that you've been carrying. We want you to begin seeing the world as a space in which trust and safety are not foreign concepts. A world in which you don't have to hide from your past or distract yourself to get through the day. Helping people overcome their traumas is the work that makes us get out of bed in the mornings. We specialize in trauma related to sexual abuse including childhood sexual abuse, incest, rape, sexual assault, human trafficking, and sexual harassment both within and outside the workplace. Please reach out - even if you don't quite believe things can get better - so that we can talk about how we might be able to help. We offer 1:1, couples, family and group therapy focused specifically on healing from sexual abuse and will connect you with a therapist who specializes in the therapy that would be the best fit for how your symptoms of sexual abuse are manifesting. Evidence-based therapies for sexual trauma used at New Moon Psychotherapy include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD), Sensimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Psychotherapy. * * * If you decide not to go with our clinic, please ensure that your therapist is trained in EVIDENCE-BASED Psychotherapies for trauma - this will be the difference between months and years of therapy * * *

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.
