Abuse support

Abuse and Trauma-Informed Therapeutic Coaching

Do you often feel guilty, ashamed, depressed, or unworthy? A relentless inner critic can lead to negative self-talk, making you believe things about yourself that aren’t true, even while you present a brave face to the world. Are you frequently on edge and hyper-aware of potential threats, whether real or imagined? This constant state of alertness, therefore, keeps your nervous system in a perpetual fight-flight-freeze mode.

The Impact of Self-Protective Behaviours

Survivors of trauma and abuse often develop self-protective behaviours to cope with severe physical and mental impacts. While these behaviours are crucial for surviving crises, they can become deeply ingrained, thereby restricting your ability to fully engage with life. Consequently, you might find it challenging to manage intense emotions that linger far longer than they should. Moreover, emotional flashbacks can make past traumas feel as though they are happening all over again.

Understanding the Long-Term Effects of Abuse

The shock of abuse can lead to denial or even rationalising the violence. Over time, it is common to internalise such abuse as a normal part of life—something to be managed rather than addressed. However, this prolonged exposure can profoundly affect your physical and emotional well-being. Additionally, trauma and abuse can deeply impact your self-perception and interactions with others, often leaving you feeling disconnected and distrustful.

Navigating the Path to Healing

Unresolved trauma frequently results in feelings of helplessness and disconnection. This can manifest as addiction, depression, anxiety, or even suicidal thoughts. Therefore, it is essential to recognise and validate your experiences as a crucial first step towards healing. Moreover, you might find that forming healthy relationships is challenging, as compromised trust and safety make new connections difficult.
