It's Complicated

Find a therapist that can help with Sexual abuse

Sexual abuse refers to any unwanted sexual activity that occurs without a person's consent. It can take many forms, including unwanted touching, sexual harassment, assault, and rape. Sexual abuse can have profound and long-lasting effects on an individual's mental health, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and difficulty with trust and intimacy. Therapy can be an essential resource for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. It can provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore the traumatic experience, develop coping strategies to manage their emotional distress, and work towards healing and recovery. Trauma-focused therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), can be particularly effective in treating the effects of sexual abuse. In therapy, individuals can learn strategies to manage the emotional triggers associated with their trauma, such as grounding techniques, relaxation exercises, and mindfulness. Additionally, a therapist can help individuals develop skills to improve their self-esteem, communication, and boundary-setting. This can be particularly important for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, as it can help to restore a sense of agency and control over their lives.

About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung once wrote that, “Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble”. One does not have to be a therapist, though, to realize that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, who you can build a strong relationship with, shouldn’t have to be. This is the founding principle of It’s Complicated.Since our start, we've helped over 23,000 clients and counting, offering thousands of free crisis support hours, and built thriving therapy communities in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Athens.
