Sexual Abuse

Most people (men and women) who have been sexually abused have strong feelings of anger, shame, fear and hurt.

As adults you may experience depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress syndrome, eating disorders, and flashbacks. You may have feelings of low self esteem and self hatred. You may have difficulty trusting others and find yourself coping with drugs, alcohol, or self mutilating. Healing from sexual abuse trauma is not easy but it is possible. Counseling provides a safe environment to tell your story, to acknowledge the fact of the abuse and its impact. A Christian counselor can help you explore your feelings and help you to begin to break away from a place of victimization and past merely surviving to the place God meant for you to be - victorious, more than a conqueror.      
 
Romans 8:37-39 - Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
