How Long Will it Take to Heal from Abuse?

First of all, everyone is beautifully unique. No two people are the same, nor do any two people have the same experience.

Women who have experienced childhood abuse, childhood sexual abuse and/or partner violence as adults, can have similar experiences and similar questions, however.

A common theme/question is: How LONG will it take to heal? And also…
-To stop feeling angry
-To start having better relationships
-To finally enjoy intimacy
-To stop feeling guilty or ashamed
-To stop being chronically victimized…

This may be a tough pill to swallow, and depending on where you are ‘at’ at this moment, feel like a bridge too far to cross.

The Simple Answer Is: It IS up to you!

That is the simple answer, not the easy answer.

There is no panacea, no one size fits all to recover from the many emotional, physical, mental and spiritual impacts that violence and abuse can have on us.

Yet, as an adult who desires to have a different experience in life – to feel more peace, calm, strength, health, intimacy….and the list goes on, you have a decision to make.

The blows the time clock wide open; and this can be a place where massively, rapid and lasting changes occur.
