The Impact of Sexual Abuse on Survivor's Lives

Welcome to Adaptable | Behavior Explained! Sexual abuse leaves deep and lasting scars that affect survivors' lives in profound ways. In this video, we explore the emotional, psychological, and social challenges survivors often face, including trauma, trust issues, and self-esteem struggles. We also discuss the journey toward healing, the importance of support systems, therapy and available resources for survivors. Our goal is to shed light on this sensitive topic, create awareness, and foster empathy and understanding.

I'm Kelly O'Horo, Attachment based EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Consultant, and Advanced Trainer. I'm a mom of 5, Nonna of 5, wife, and a healer. I have the honor of spending my workdays walking along side people while they brave their healing journeys. I try to live with the generous assumption that we're all doing the best we can with what we know. Therapists are teachers for the "life stuff" and "emotional vocabulary" that may not have been learned due to gaps in our care givers capabilities. In the last 15 years I've learned that people are freaking amazing, resilient, and inspiring. Most importantly, we are hardwired for connection and for healing!

I hope to bring an authentic, compassionate, and unpolished approach while we explore a variety of topics such as parenting, marriage, relationships, dating, trauma, attachment, adoption, depression, addiction, anxiety, and love! There's a why for all behaviors and an explanation that makes perfect sense as emotion is at the root of it all.
