Should I have counselling or not?
Home: Survivors: Healing: Counselling
This article is written for men and assumes a male offender, however SECASA acknowledges that both men and women can be survivors of sexual abuse and that offenders can be male and female.
There are many social pressures on men to not seek help when they need it. Often men grow up believing that they have to ''tough out'' pain and worries, in order to prove their manliness. Many men have suffered a great deal by minimising their needs and denying their problems only to find themselves in crisis. Looking after your health is a healthy way to be a man. Counselling is a chance to prevent further disruption in your life, help work through the trauma and maintain a sense of mastery in your life. A sexual assault counsellor will work with you at your pace and is bound by confidentiality. See the contacts section for details.
