The Aftermath

What is my aftermath?

It is a fluctuation of emotions. It is dis-belief in myself. It is the self-loathing, the worthless feelings. It is the self-harm and the self blame. It is the carelessness for my body and my self respect. It is forgetting that I have boundaries. It is the core of my beginning. It is the stages I will go through before I know I can be whole again.

Some people suffer every possible internal battle in their aftermath. Some only suffer a few battles before they ultimately save themselves. Yet we are all unique in that we understand that our aftermath is a natural part of our trauma. In being sexually abused,  violated by rape or violence...we all heal differently.

You might experience fear, loneliness and rage. Yet you are not alone. There are many places and a lot of information that can help you succeed along the path that seems endless and dark. Once you get through this process you will come to a valley filled with light and hope. Filled with new growth and colors you have never seen before. Abuse does not have to steal away your entire life. You can reclaim that very life again. If you've survived, you've already done the right thing.

Please explore this web site for further information on what you can do to heal yourself in the aftermath of your sexual abuse. Know that you are not alone on your journey and that there is always someone with you listening and holding your hand every step of the way. Only when we listen and learn can we understand our mission to heal and healing is the key toward living a full and happy life beyond the aftermath of rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence.
