Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR, REAT
Sexual abuse is much larger problem than most people realize. One in four women have a history of sexual abuse. One in 7 men. These are just the reported cases. We keep it a secret for years. It destroys our sense of self. We feel less than, dirty, not good enough, and terrified it will happen again. We cannot block out the memory. It is a depressing and overwhelming. I use Cognitive Processing Therapy, a 12 session approach to reducing symptoms of trauma. If clients are open to using art, we add it as a way to go deeper and better express what is difficult to express verbally.

The trauma of sexual abuse can leave scars and affect how one shows up in the world. Dealing with secondary issues, such as lack of trust, fear, and other problems can help.

Ryan Holliman
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
You don’t talk much about that day, but it still upsets you. That traumatic experience has infected all the other parts of your life. You find yourself avoiding situations and people that remind you of it. It’s getting to the point that your spending most of your life avoiding things. And that memory hurts. Sometimes you feel like your broken, and wonder if your life will ever feel “normal” again. You’ve tried to talk to family, but they can’t do much more than lend a sympathetic ear. And you’ve been to therapy, but you just talked about the trauma over and over, and that didn’t really seem to help anything. So is this it?
When I work with clients struggling with trauma I use an intervention called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). While I could tell you all the neuroscience, what really happens in EMDR is we drain all of the emotions from your traumatic memory and install a positive belief about yourself.
Through EMDR we help you finally recover from the past. You can discard the negative beliefs about yourself that traumatic experience made you believe, and you can recapture a healthy and positive life. You need a trusted guide to help you through your trauma, and I can help. Call today to schedule a free initial 15 minute consultation.
