Few experiences have a long-lasting, negative impact on an adult than unresolved issues from childhood abuse. The abuse could have come from a variety of sources—relatives, friends, strangers, peers—and several forms: physical, emotional and/or sexual. As adults, survivors of cruelty can be plagued by guilt, shame, low self-esteem, anger, depression and intense anxiety.
What’s worse, it’s quite possible that men and women with unresolved traumas of childhood abuse will likely pass their abusers’ behaviors onto others, especially their own children.
The offices of Mars & Venus Counseling Center offer abuse survivors effective, compassionate treatment to help them recover from the childhood trauma they suffered. Working together, we help our patients build a new life free from the painful memories of their past, while also preventing the cycle of abuse from continuing into relationships with their partners and children.
Through guided therapy, our patients understand and come to terms with how their traumatic childhoods persist to affect their lives. Eating disorders, panic attacks, the inability to trust others and a strong hesitancy to form intimate relationships can be traced back to what happened to them as children. We provide a safe environment for them to express their feelings and emotions, without fear of being judged.
The emotional pain of child abuse can be healed under the sensitive, supportive care of the offices of Mars & Venus Counseling Center. Our compassionate, confidential treatment is critical in building a new life—one that is free from the disturbing encumbrances of the past. We understand that forming a trusting relationship with a mental health professional can take patience, but the journey and result are significant and rewarding. Take the first step in that journey today by contacting our office to arrange a consultation. You’ll be glad you did.
