What happened to you was awful, undeserved, and not your fault. The fact that it continues to have a hold on you, and probably offers up some unjust feelings of guilt, shame, fear, or loneliness, is just too much to bear. You feel like you’re stuck and never going to move forward.
It can be difficult acknowledging that a traumatic event is still deeply affecting you. You might feel ashamed and wonder why you can't just “get over it”. Research shows that 57-75% of Australians will experience a traumatic event in their lifetime - you really aren't alone. Don’t suffer in silence. Don't let what happened to you keep you stuck in the past. Counselling is a safe place to expel your demons and heal.
You deserve to be heard.
You deserve to be happy.
You deserve to be free.
