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.

You are brave for being willing to focus on healing the wounds that stem from the sexual abuse your experienced or are experiencing. Maybe you tried to forget about it for a time - some attempt to for a lifetime, but you see the ways this experience has affected you and your life. So, here you are - being brave - willing to look back on that experience that haunts you and has caused so much pain.
When you work with me to heal sexual trauma, we first focus on regulating your nervous system - this helps you to feel confident in your ability to relax and self regulate your emotions and thoughts. Then, and only when you feel ready, we can cognitively process those hurts while helping you to maintain a regulated stated. This is what help you to heal. Revisiting and reprocessing your experience while emotionally regulated dissolves the distress associated with these memories. You gain the cognitive space to heal and understand your experience from new perspectives. You heal impacts on your sexuality and sense of trust.
