Sexual abuse leaves deep and complex wounds—often beginning within the very families meant to provide safety. This conference will invite participants into a careful and compassionate exploration of how abuse originates, the lasting damage it causes, and the path toward genuine healing. Together, we will examine how family-of-origin dynamics can set the stage for sexual abuse and unpack the core injuries survivors carry: betrayal, powerlessness, and ambivalence. We will explore why survivors often feel a haunting sense of complicity, how triangulation operates as a form of subtle sexual abuse, and the ways the body itself holds and responds to trauma.

But the journey does not stop at harm. We will trace a path toward healing that includes the necessary movements of grief, rage, and the blessing of arousal. Participants will gain insight into what authentic forgiveness and reconciliation involve—not as cheap bypasses, but as hard-won realities forged in honesty and courage. This conference is both an unflinching acknowledgment of the devastation of sexual abuse and a hopeful guide toward the possibility of restoration.
