Sexual Health for Survivors: Communication and Sexuality | Saprea

Even though speaking with other people is an integral part of our life, effective communication doesn’t always come easily. This is especially the case for survivors of child sexual abuse. Developing good communication skills can help survivors on their healing journeys because they will be able to establish and enforce healthy boundaries and fulfilling relationships with others.
The trauma of abuse can deeply affect a person’s confidence, their perception about relationships, and their willingness or ability to open up to others. But these effects don't have to last forever. You can take steps to reshape how you express yourself and your expectations for how others communicate with you.
Intimacy takes work and communication, and this can be especially true for survivors of child sexual abuse. Feel empowered to make your needs known to your partner and get on the same page.
At Saprea, we liberate individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts. We have services that help child sexual abuse survivors find healing from the traumatic effects that have often followed them into adulthood, as well as resources for parents and caregivers to learn how to lower the risk of child sexual abuse in their own homes and communities.
