Indications of Recovery
For an Abuse Survivor

I am willing to face the abuse and acknowledge the hurt and the pain.


I am able to express feelings and thoughts to others about the abuse.


I understand that I was a victim; that regardless of any consent I may have given, I was a victim.


I consider the abuse a violation.


I realize the damage experienced and I have overcome personal feelings of shame and guilt.


I identify personal style of relating to others, including attempts to avert further hurt by avoiding honesty and intimacy.


I am able to overcome unrealistic fears and am not plagued with continued anxiety.


I have experienced an increase in sense of worth as a person and am able to trust others.


I have the ability to have intimate relationships with spouse, family and friends.


I am free from the burdens of perfectionism, of rage, or bitterness, and of depression.
