Physical, Emotional and Sexual Abuse

People often think that sexual abuse is more damaging than emotional and physical abuse .This is not correct .Physical sexual and emotional abuse
Can  all have very damaging effects.

Issues that can arise from all three of the above are low self esteem…. no confidence. Anger ...depression…anxiety...body...issues…intimacy…self harming….trust…sexual problems...sexual  identity...trust...panic attacks….The list goes on.

Males and females are sexually abused by either males or females .If you have been abused you are not  alone . Some statistics say one in three girls and one out of seven boys will be abused by the age of eighteen.

Abuse happens to children of every  culture , class, race  ,religion and gender.
Children are abused by fathers, stepfathers, uncles, aunts, neighbours, family friends, baby sitters, teachers, strangers, mothers, clergy,

All abuse is damaging and the trauma does not end when the abuse stops. If you were abused as a child you are probably experiencing long term effects that interfere with your day to day functioning.
