Recovery Techniques and Processes for Overcoming Sexual Abuse

Child sexual abuse is an unfortunately frequent situation. It is common that these cases are not detected in childhood because the child does not understand what is happening and because most often the abuse is perpetrated by people close to the child or family environment.

In the majority of occasions they are people who have an ascendant over the child and in whom they have deposited a trust.

Therefore, it is the responsibility of parents and teachers, who remain in contact with the children, to be able to detect changes in the child’s behavior or emotional state.

So many times the victim of abuse lives the experience with guilt. This happens because the person who carries out this abuse often tells the child not to tell anything because doing so could have very bad consequences.

Evidently, the anguish and sense of isolation that the child may experience is very high and they tend to remain silent for a long time.

But as they grow up, they often forget that the different situations or experiences they have lived through until then will awaken a series of sensations, emotions and reactions that the person him/herself will not understand.

The only thing they are able to detect is the anxiety it produces and the feeling of paralysis that accompanies it. The experience of sexual abuse is an experience that marks the rest of the person’s life.

On the other hand, it is also common for those who have suffered sexual abuse during childhood to experience it again during adulthood.

This situation is repeated because the abuses are stored in the memory and these experiences come back because we tend to repeat patterns of behavior and actions.

How to recover?

The treatment carried out by psychologist Margarita Corominas Roso incorporates neurofeedback.

It is a technique that allows modulating brain activity, both to treat current symptoms and to make the brain more flexible, accessing past memory and allowing access to healthy memories and experiences through therapy.

On the other hand, verbal psychotherapy also helps the patient to express emotions through games and, combined with neurofeedback, is another fundamental treatment that allows access to memories that are difficult to express in words.

These are slow processes that require several sessions, but with time the patient will be able to recover and achieve the joy and the desire to live as he/she deserves.
