Physical/Emotional and Sexual Abuse
Individual
Groups For Women and Men
People in this category have been abused
physically, emotionally or sexually. Such abuse is often perpetrated
by someone who is in a position of authority. It could be a parent
or some other family member. It could be a teacher. It could be a
spouse or someone in the workplace. The abused person usually has
insufficient resources or power to resist such abusive behavior and
often concludes that there is something wrong with them or they are
blameworthy or both. These attitudes carry over to everyday
situations of life, which prevent them from relating to others in
healthy ways. These people need outside help to solve this problem.
The help offered by Celebrate Recovery is
spiritual. It starts with turning one’s life and will over to the care
and control of Jesus Christ. The abused person acknowledges they have a
problem, and they have not been able to put it under control. They
recognize that Jesus Christ is their loving Higher Power, and He will
provide all the resources needed to overcome their issues.
The abused person follows up by attending weekly
Celebrate Recovery meetings. In these meetings they learn how to
identify the underlying causes of their issues. They also learn how to
appropriate God’s power in eliminating them. They learn how to forgive
those who have hurt them and to make amends to all the people they have
hurt. They learn how to change their focus from themselves to
others. The result is lasting freedom and permanent victory.
Over the years many abused people have gone through the
Celebrate Recovery program with incredible results. Celebrate Recovery
has a success rate much higher than conventional recovery programs. Why
not give it a try?
