Recovery from sexual abuse - part one


In my many years as a psychotherapist and spiritual adviser I've encountered many brave souls who have faced the awful realization and memories of sexual abuse.
Telling their story and breaking the silence is clearly the first step. Many people have felt unable to share their painful stories with anyone... for a range of reasons:
  • You don't know how to express this pain;
  • You don't know what the reaction might be!
  • You've minimized the incident!
  • You don't want to make things worse;
  • You don't want to 'betray' the abuser;
  • You fear what others may do to the abuser if they told;
  • You still fear retribution from the abuser;
  • You don't know of others who have recovered and don't understand the stages of recovery;
  • You feel responsible and are controlled by guilt/shame;

vent/attack on the abuser to discharge rage!

If you have been abused then your human rights were violated!

I now focus on providing intensive retreats for a speedy healing solution to a range of human issues: addictions {all kinds}, abuse, trauma, depression, chronic grief etc.
