Challenges in Disclosure and Healing
For survivors of sexual abuse, the journey of disclosure and healing is complex. The process of disclosure often involves incremental steps, as individuals test the reactions of others to gauge safety and support. Often, survivors carry shame, guilt, and self-condemnation, hindering their ability to share their stories openly. Finding individuals who can sit with their story, show empathy, and provide support is crucial in the healing process. Incremental disclosure and compassion from others play vital roles in helping survivors navigate their healing journey.
