Trauma and abuse from current events or from the past can have dramatic repercussions on your day to day life that damages your trust in the world and leaves you feeling like a victim. When you feel disempowered, life becomes more difficult to live, let alone to enjoy. You feel echoes of the event or abuse that traumatized every single area of your life, tainting relationships at work, with your friends, and in your family.<\/p>\n

Feeling Like A Victim<\/h2>\n

Victimization takes place when you initially suffer trauma or abuse. Unfortunately, these feelings can linger for decades, making life less enjoyable than it has to be. For example, take a traumatic car accident. When you\u2019re in the accident, you\u2019re a victim. However, each time you drive afterward you may relive your experience of the car crash. What was once pleasurable or done without thought now becomes a nightmare of terror every time you\u2019re behind the wheel. You anticipate when you\u2019ll be hit again and that thought of even driving can reduce you to tears.<\/p>\n

Counseling with a skilled therapist can help speed your recovery from your abuse or trauma. Getting assistance through therapy with the work you need to do to recover will have you enjoying life and your relationships again faster than you ever thought possible.
