Benefits of Sexual Abuse Counseling

Consider how countless others have benefited from facing their problems head-on:

Learn How to Love Yourself, Finally

You have probably heard all the statistics about sexual abuse victims self-destructing at prolific rates. Indeed, it is common for sexual abuse victims to feel guilt, depression, worthlessness, hopelessness, and a slew of undesirable emotions. All of this affects your mental health for the worse. When you attend counseling sessions at bareWell Psychology, with the aid of our San Diego therapists, you will develop coping techniques and self-help behaviors that can help you get through your darkest hours.

Opening Up About Your Past will Make You Feel Better

Holding onto sexual abuse and all of the negative thoughts and emotions that come with it is like having poison in your body and consciously choosing to leave it there. Over time, the poison will take more and more out of you until it destroys you completely. At bareWell Psychology, our sexual abuse patients often report feeling like they have had a sack of bricks removed from their backs. Getting your feelings out is essential to recovery from sexual abuse.

Gain a Network of Support to Help You When You Need it Most

At bareWell Psychology, all of our family therapists in San Diego care about each one of our patients. In addition to our caring therapists, you might eventually feel comfortable enough to attend groups with other sexual abuse victims. Between the combination of professional therapeutic help and emotional support from people who have experienced what you have, you will have an excellent chance to make progress towards recovery.  

You Can Learn How to Forgive

You have probably heard the saying, ¨Hurt people hurt people.¨ Individuals who others have hurt in the form of sexual abuse sometimes hurt the most important people in their lives, usually unintentionally. For example, sexual abuse victims can hurt their children by making bad parenting decisions. They can hurt their partners by not trusting or harboring unhealthy attitudes that destroy the relationships. And in some cases, abused people can perpetuate the same type of abuse they endured on others.  

Therapy for sexual abuse is hard work. But it is work that payoffs, and it is critical if you want to heal. Contact bareWell Psychologists today to get the help you need and begin your journey to recovery. Feel no shame. We are here for you always.
