Survivors of Sexual Assault

Sexual assault, including child sexual abuse, can cause deep emotional and psychological scarring. Many survivors can experience low self-esteem, severe anxiety, uncontrollable anger, depression, and issues with intimacy. Experiences, such as physical touch and scents, can be triggering for many survivors, often taking them back to the assault. Survivors can struggle with relationships, especially when becoming closer.

?Shelley will assist survivors in achieving emotional healing by working through feelings of guilt, anger, and shame. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) has been evidenced to be highly effective in symptoms of PTSD which is commonly found in people who have experienced sexual assault.
