How abuse impacts healing

Survivors experience varied responses; all are valid. You may notice:

  • Anxiety, panic, or hypervigilance
  • Shame, guilt, or self-blame
  • Depression or emotional numbness
  • Difficulty trusting others
  • Challenges with intimacy or touch
  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories
  • Avoidance of reminders or situations
  • Trouble sleeping or chronic tension
  • Feeling disconnected from your body
  • Self-esteem struggles or self-criticism
  • Emotional overwhelm or shutdown
  • Difficulty with relationships or boundaries
