Rarely do we live life through a linear narrative. The highs and lows that we endure are all a part of the human experience. But for survivors of abuse, the low moments may be felt more often than not.
Abuse-related trauma can have lasting effects on one’s mental wellbeing and hinder the ability to cope with stress, form positive relationships, and face challenges that lie ahead. Additionally, survivors may feel a sense of hopelessness when it comes to healing from the aftermath of trauma.
