- Minimising: Minimising or ‘playing down’ the significance of sexual abuse is often seen as a way of dismissing the issue and moving on. Minimising sexual abuse and not taking action is also sometimes viewed as a necessary and unselfish act where dependants rely on the abuser as a provider.
- Rationalising: You may be concerned that your description of events will not be believed. This could lead to feelings of unworthiness, which you may then begin to attach to unrelated misfortune in everyday life. A belief that you are to blame for any misfortune could reinforce the rationalisation that you deserve abuse.
- Traumatic amnesia: Traumatic amnesia commonly occurs where there is a perceived benefit to blocking out a stressful event. For example, blocking any instance of sexual abuse from memory could allow for a continued relationship with the abuser. This may seem beneficial where you are a dependant of the abuser.
What is important to remember is that a coping strategy is not typically a permanent solution. If you feel that you are ready to begin your sexual abuse claim, we can help. We have a team of experienced sexual abuse solicitors, so depending on your circumstances, we could help you to access specialist services that offer dedicated support in cases of sexual abuse. For further information on how we could help, contact us today.
