[Health & Sexuality Info](/health-info)# healing from abuse

Healing psychologically and physically from abuse can take a long time. Abuse can leave scars, and healing takes time and perseverance. It is rarely a linear process, but we all deserve to live lives with love and care, dignity and privacy, peace, pleasure, and autonomy. We can’t ever go back to who we were before the abuse, but we can get much, much better. We each get to define what healing from abuse means for us, and to seek all the support we need to pursue that healing.
