Dr Burrowes told me that life after abuse is a bit like grief. It’s something you learn to live with and that process isn’t easy. A lot of it has to do with striking a balance and slowly figuring out what you’re comfortable with. What happened to you deserves all the compassion in the world, it’s not an easy thing to get over. It’s fucked up and it’s catastrophically unfair but many people can expect to fully recover from trauma.
