RE: Child abuse and neglect. Are you attentive?
Do you have advise on how a grown up can better live with whats happened to them when they were small? I ve been in Therapie for two years so far and still struggling. How long until it gets better
It depends on the kind of therapy you are getting. Most professionals use CBT and psychoanalysis these days to treat this problem. Psychoanalysis can take months and years and CBT has a limit of 8 to 12 weeks. It also depends on your pace of recovery and how you get along with the therapist.
Thanks. I will look into CBT and inform myself about it. Ive had behavioral therapy(dont know if this is the right term). It helped me to get a grip on life again. Now I am waiting for a place with a psychotherapy to get deeper into the issue.
In trauma therapy the confrontation of the past can help in later life. Acceptance at first , talking about it with someone you trust and not feeling guilty about the incident (if the child remembers) can help recover.
You just need to find the right person and things will get better in time. Give yourself some time :)
