THE MENTAL DISORDERS WE TREAT:
At Grupo Punto de Partida we specialize in the treatment of the following:
SEXUAL ABUSE
Sexual abuse is a difficult and controversial topic. Unfortunately, our experience shows us that it is not uncommon for people to have been victims of potentially traumatic experiences, or adverse experiences, in childhood.
Divorce dverse experiences during childhood include:
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Emotional neglect
- Physical neglect
- Violence against the mother
- Substance abuse at home
- Mental illness at home
- Emotional abuse
- Imprisonment of a family member
Individuals who have been through adverse experiences in the early years of their life may find their life skills affected and possibly develop disorders like those treated in Grupo Punto de Partida.
The following may be consequences of trauma: the sensation of being disconnected from yourself and others; lack of feelings; detachment from yourself; and lack of contact with your potential. Nevertheless, the good news is that we can reconnect with ourselves through psychotherapy.
Trauma negatively distorts our vision of the world. It makes us see the world as a dangerous and untrustworthy place. The wounds of trauma cause life-long pain until they are treated and allowed to heal.
Pain stays with us until we are able to overcome it. Trauma affects the development of our brain and affects our ability to feel emotions, and control our impulses, among others.
Trauma results in a self-image based on shame. We feel unworthy of love, belonging and success.
Pain makes it hard to be in the present moment, because pain from the past is constantly with us; thus, we are anchored to trauma and identify with it instead of with what’s going on in the present.
