Life Issues for Abuse Survivors

Abuse, particularly sexual abuse, damages a developing human being. By the time an abuse survivor reaches early adulthood, this damage takes on a life of its own and is frequently experienced through seemingly unrelated behavior and issues. It is these issues, rather than the actual abuse, that most often send an abuse survivor to a counselor. Listed below are the life issues that most abuse survivors struggle with.
