Survivors of sexual, emotional or physical abuse, or other life-threatening situations, face a number of struggles to adjust and cope with daily life. If you are struggling to cope with the aftereffects of trauma, we can help. We understand the frustration, fear, anxiety and helplessness that you may be feeling. You can begin to feel normal again.
Regardless of the type of trauma you experienced, you may be struggling with one or more of the following symtoms:
| Emotional shock | Memory problems | Helplessness | Fear | Rage |
| Fear of abandonment | Confusion | Disorientation | Numbness | Crying |
| Anxiety | Insecurity | Inflexibility | Dissociation | Feelings of unreality |

| Nausea | Body aches | Guilt | Suicidal thoughts | Nightmares |
| Aggression | Controlling behavior | Substance abuse | Denial | Depression |
| Isolation | Distrust | Despair | Self-harm | Extreme stress |
It's important to be honest about how you are feeling, and get help to allow you to integrate those feelings into the person you are today. You are a survivor, and you can channel your experiences in a way that will make you an even stronger person. But first, you must acknowledge your feelings. Your therapist can help you.
If you have been a victim of sexual abuse, you may struggle with feelings of shame and unworthiness. Although you may recognize in your head that these feelings are inaccurate, you may struggle to change them. Your therapist can help you to identify these thought processes that hold you hostage, and empower you to free yourself from them. You don't have to be a victim of your abuser any longer; you can become a survivor.
