Abuse

Description:

Experiences of abuse – whether emotional, physical, or sexual – can leave lasting psychological effects. Survivors often struggle with feelings of fear, shame, or mistrust, and their sense of safety may be deeply disrupted. The impact can extend into relationships, self‑esteem, and overall mental health. Sensitive and respectful assessment helps acknowledge these experiences, validate the survivor’s reality, and identify pathways toward healing and rebuilding a sense of security.
