Trusting Again After CSA

Trust is like oxygen because we don’t think about it until it’s missing. For survivors of childhood sexual abuse, trust was often the first thing broken, stolen by those who should have offered safety and love. That wound shapes how we see ourselves and the world. With compassion, courage, and support, trust can be rebuilt and lead to healthy relatedness.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re either giving too much in relationships or guarding yourself so tightly that no one can get close, you already know how exhausting it can be.
