The Effects of Child Sexual Abuse | Saprea

Child sexual abuse can have an impact on the brain. There are two long-term effects of child sexual abuse that are very common across the experiences of survivors: Miscommunication between the brain’s limbic system and frontal lobe and persistent feelings of shame. Survivors will go their entire lives without disclosing the abuse to anyone and may never totally understand why their brains and bodies function and respond in the ways that they do; this is an effect of CSA. Other survivors will seek treatment after treatment and feel like nothing works for them, not realizing that, in many instances, the root of the problem is inextricably connected to the trauma they experienced.

At Saprea, we liberate individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts. We have services that help child sexual abuse survivors find healing from the traumatic effects that have often followed them into adulthood, as well as resources for parents and caregivers to learn how to lower the risk of child sexual abuse in their own homes and communities.
