FAQs
There's no time limit on healing. Many survivors seek counselling years or even decades after abuse occurred. The brain and body often hold onto trauma until properly processed, so counselling can be beneficial regardless of when the abuse happened. Some survivors only recognize the impact of childhood abuse when they are much older. It's never too late to seek support.
