Is it possible to heal from the emotional trauma of sexual abuse?
Yes, it is possible, and it is a process. There are many ways to get help in your healing process. Individual therapy, support groups, a supportive community, and good self-help books are all tools to help you heal. The Courage to Heal by Laura Davis and Ellen Bass is helpful for survivors of child sexual abuse; for adult rape Rethinking Rape by Ann J. Cahill is good.
