Victims of abuse may need therapy to heal from their trauma from "summary" of Why Does He Do That? by Lundy Bancroft

Therapy can be a crucial part of the healing process for survivors of abuse. Many people who have experienced abuse carry deep emotional wounds that can be difficult to overcome without professional help. Through therapy, survivors can work through their trauma, process their feelings, and learn healthy coping mechanisms. One of the primary benefits of therapy for survivors of abuse is the opportunity to talk about their experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Many survivors may have never had the chance to fully express their emotions or share their stories without fear of judgment or retaliation. Therapy provides a space where survivors can open up about their feelings, fears, and struggles without feeling ashamed or guilty. In therapy, survivors can also learn to recognize and challenge harmful beliefs and thought patterns that may have developed as a result of the abuse. Many survivors of abuse internalize negative messages about themselves, such as feeling unworthy or unlovable. Through therapy, survivors can work to reframe these beliefs and develop a more positive and healthy self-image. Additionally, therapy can help survivors develop healthy boundaries and relationships. Many survivors of abuse struggle with setting boundaries and trusting others due to their past experiences. A therapist can help survivors learn to assert themselves, communicate effectively, and build healthy connections with others.
  1. Therapy can be a powerful tool for survivors of abuse to begin the healing process and move forward in their lives. It is important for survivors to seek out a therapist who is knowledgeable about trauma and abuse, and who can provide a safe and supportive environment for their healing journey.
