Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault
It doesn’t matter if it happened yesterday or 40 years ago, trauma resulting from domestic and/or sexual violence can be a haunting experience. Trauma re-wires your nervous system and messes with your inner knowing. It can cause you to doubt yourself and your instincts.
And it can happen to anyone.
