Workshop for survivors of sexual abuse and their supporters
“Processing feelings, power dynamics and post-traumatic growth.”
A workshop looking at shame, control, anxiety, sexuality and pressure to recover for survivors of sexual abuse and their supporters.
The workshop is open to all genders and is held in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere with time for sharing and discussion plus extensive handouts.
Workshop aims include looking at:
- breaking out of isolation and meeting others in a safe space
- processing shame: holding the abuser to account
- owning past powerlessness to move to more personal agency
- considering anxiety and adrenaline “addiction”
- bringing understanding and hope to sexuality struggles
- resisting the pressure for a quick recovery
Safe for survivors and partners, and relevant for counsellors/mental health professionals.
The workshop is also open to mental health professionals who are supporting people who have experienced abuse and to partners or friends of people who have experienced abuse. We have received some excellent feedback from professionals about how the workshops have given them valuable tools in their work with survivors. We give CPD certificates on request.
