The Emergency Stage

Many survivors go through a period when sexual abuse is all they think about. We call it the emergency stage. You talk about the abuse to anyone who will listen. You think about it all day and have nightmares at night. Your life is full of crises. You can't stop crying, and it's hard to function.

People often describe the early stages of their healing as a natural disaster: "It was like being caught in an avalanche.""It was like an earthquake."

To all those in this healing process, i assure you that, This too shall pass.
It did for me. If i can come out the other side, i know others can too. I have faith in the process.
