Healing from Sexual Abuse: The Role of Sexual Abuse Therapy

Sexual abuse can leave deep emotional and psychological scars that impact every aspect of a survivor's life. Feelings of shame, guilt, anxiety, and depression often accompany the trauma, and the road to recovery can seem overwhelming. However, with the right support and guidance, healing is possible.

Sexual abuse therapy is a specialized form of therapy aimed at helping survivors process the trauma of abuse in a safe and supportive environment. Techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and EMDR are often used to help individuals rebuild their lives and regain emotional well-being. The goal of sexual abuse therapy is not just to cope with the trauma, but to help survivors reclaim their sense of self and move forward in a healthier, empowered way.

Dr. Kimberly Richards of Birch Run Psychological Services, PLLC offers compassionate, individualized sexual abuse therapy to help survivors heal. With a deep understanding of trauma, Dr. Richards provides a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, gain coping strategies, and work through the complex emotions surrounding their experiences.

If you or someone you know is struggling with the aftermath of sexual abuse, consider reaching out to Dr. Richards for support. You're not alone in this journey—healing is possible, and taking the first step toward recovery is an important one.

A person’s mental health is vital for overall well-being. As illustrated in Jo Ellen Capps-Layne’s “Laughter at Dawn,” a book about a woman overcoming mental illness, many who face abuse struggle to get the support they need. Experiences like abuse and adverse childhood events can significantly impact a person’s health. Trauma-informed care is a trusted way to help persons suffering from such experiences. What is trauma-informed care? While its benefits are profound, many are still clueless about the approach…

Trauma and Violence Studies at University of Glasgow: Healing Individuals and Communities  

From conflict zones to marginalized communities, I wanted to actively support trauma recovery efforts. The University of Glasgow’s highly respected Trauma and Violence Studies program provided intensive, comprehensive training blending psychotherapy practice with community-based research.

Glasgow professors challenged me to interpret diverse cultural experiences of trauma, from the collective memory of genocide survivors to the erasure of voices caused by systemic oppression. Course projects had us collaborating with amazing Glasgow-based groups, from refugee networks to youth violence intervention efforts. 

A truly transformative moment was the month I spent in the highlands co-facilitating art therapy groups for marginalized youth. Watching individuals grow and heal through creative expression reshaped my entire conception of trauma therapy’s power to uplift communities.

Thanks to Glasgow’s vocational focus, upon graduating I immediately joined a local collective providing trauma-informed care. If you feel called to focus your psychology degree on mutual healing and empowerment, I cannot recommend Glasgow’s program enough, a genuine life-changing Envoy Study Overseas journey made possible by Envoy Education guidance.

What Is Trauma-Informed Care

✨ "What Is Trauma-Informed Care?" ✨

Ever heard of Trauma-Informed Care but not sure what it means? 🧠💙 It’s more than just therapy – it’s a mindset that focuses on safety, empowerment, and respect for people navigating trauma. Mental health professionals using this approach recognize that trauma shapes how we think, feel, and act – and they adapt their support accordingly.

One exciting method is called TIST (Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment), which helps clients manage complex trauma with care and precision. It’s a way of healing that emphasizes not just treating the symptoms, but restoring a sense of control and well-being 🌱.

it’s been real fred finch ✌️… almost 5 years working with system-involved youth and families at this agency. first with a short-term, intensive, behavioral program and then with a longer term therapy program - all done in the community (homes, schools, parks, etc). it was through the last program i learned how much i loved (in-person) family therapy. so when looking for my next job move, i prioritized it, along with other serious criteria like less exhausting workweek hours & paperwork, more pay, benefits, and in-house training/support/sense of community. if you haven’t heard from me in awhile, it’s bc of this time-consuming transition, closing with families i’ve considered my own and deliberately casting my job search net wide to find the right fit. although i’ll be in a bougie group practice now (with middle-class folks 😬), my nervous system can hopefully get some relieve from long workweeks and crap pay (thx neoliberal and libertarian policies relentlessly gutting our social/economic welfare system supporting the needed services found within community mental heath). i know i may have complained about fred finch especially towards the end, but it has given me so many sweet clinical skills, lifelong compas, a path to licensure, and a secure employment home base soon after returning home from nyc and during the pandemic. will miss those sweet benefits, that gorgeous campus and views and located only a mile from my first home, and ofc my families 💜❤️‍🩹 #communitymentalhealth #fredfinch #nonprofitindustrialcomplex #transitionalobjects #warmhandoffs #oaklandbeauty #socialworkerpride #licensedtogetpaid #theBaybepricey #familytherapy #groupwork #healing #traumainformedcare #attachmentbasedtherapy #efft #hopetolearnifsnow (at Bay Area, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CobswsuOgSDHXaTtKq-6yytwv_Y-2BZYcTB9vI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
