Abuse Survivor
After escaping a physical, emotional or sexual abuse relationship, you may need help to rebuild. You are free, but what do you do next?
You may have forgotten how to be you. You will need support to process the trauma and rebuild your confidence.
Helping process trauma in a way that doesn’t retraumatize is essential.
Typically a 12-20-week programme, including homework and relaxation techniques. Can be a blend of Talking and Hypnotherapy
Why consider this approach?
A step-by-step process
Safety and trust are foundational. Survivors need a therapeutic relationship where they feel genuinely safe, both physically and emotionally. This means consistent boundaries, predictability, and a therapist who moves at the survivor’s pace without pushing them to disclose before they’re ready.
Validation and belief matter enormously. Many survivors have been gaslit or had their experiences minimised. Having a therapist who believes them, acknowledges the reality of what happened, and validates the impact can be deeply healing in itself.
Control and agency need to be restored. Since abuse often involves having control taken away, therapy should be collaborative rather than directive. Survivors benefit from having choices about what to work on, when to address trauma directly, and what techniques feel right for them.
