At Purple Petals Healing Bar (PPHB) Therapy Services, we create safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where survivors can feel supported and understood as they navigate their healing journey. We understand that each survivor’s experience is unique, and our therapy is tailored to meet their specific needs and goals. One of the primary goals of therapy for childhood sexual and emotional abuse survivors is to provide a safe environment for survivors to explore their experiences and emotions. Many survivors of childhood sexual and emotional abuse may have suppressed their feelings for years, leading to emotional numbness or difficulty in expressing their emotions. Therapy offers a space where survivors can begin to process these suppressed emotions, understand the impact of their trauma, and learn healthy ways to cope with their feelings. Another crucial aspect of therapy for survivors of childhood sexual and emotional abuse is addressing the negative beliefs and thoughts that may have developed as a result of their trauma. Survivors may harbor feelings of shame, guilt, or worthlessness, believing that they are to blame for what happened to them. Therapy helps survivors challenge these negative beliefs, replace them with more adaptive thoughts, and develop a sense of self-compassion and self-worth for parts of the individual.
At PPHB, we utilize evidence-based therapies that have been shown to be effective in treating trauma-related issues.

These therapies include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), which helps survivors identify and change negative thought patterns related to their trauma. TF-CBT also teaches coping skills to manage distressing emotions and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is another therapy modality used at PPHB for survivors of childhood sexual and emotional abuse. EMDR helps survivors’ process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional distress associated with these memories. By incorporating eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR can help survivors reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled manner.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is another therapy approach offered at PPHB, focusing on teaching survivors skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT helps survivors learn healthy coping strategies, improve their relationships, and manage intense emotions effectively.

Mindfulness techniques are also integrated into therapy at PPHB, helping survivors stay present in the moment, reduce anxiety, and improve overall emotional well-being. Techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, and progressive muscle relaxation are taught to survivors as tools for managing stress and promoting relaxation. 

We create supportive and empowering therapeutic environment.

Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed care, ensuring that survivors feel safe, heard, and validated throughout their therapy sessions. We prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance with survivors, fostering trust, and providing compassionate support every step of the way.

The journey of healing from childhood sexual and emotional abuse is unique for each survivor, and therapy is just one part of the healing process. At PPHB, we also offer support groups, workshops, and other resources to complement therapy and provide survivors with additional tools and support.
