Sexual Abuse
With great sadness we must acknowledge sexual assault is a far too common occurrence in our society; One in five women and one in 71 men will experience rape.

The experience of being sexually assaulted can cause one to think very poorly of themselves. In fact, victims often blame themselves. This unhealthy behavior reflects the victim's attempt to make sense of the situation. The victims of sexual assault often feel powerless, helpless, and worthless; therefore it may seem impossible to recover from these traumatic experiences. The first step in healing from any mental illness is deciding to seek help.
Sexual assault can be a one-time situation or may have continued for years. Either way, once the victim decides to seek help and commits to the process the likelihood of experiencing significant improvement greatly improves.
You are likely to experience recovery with professional help!
