What happens if someone who has been abused their whole life never gets help?
Question : What happens if someone who has been abused their whole life never gets help?
What happens if someone has been abused (sexually, physically and emotionally) by many different people their whole life but never gets help? This person has already cut out all the people who have ever abused them out of their life completely but has never got any help (like see a therapist for example)
Is there something this person should do to get help or is it not really necessary?
Would this person benefit much from therapy?
And do you think cognitive behavioral therapy would help at all?
Sorry, one more question – what would happen, psychologically, if this person never seeks help?
whole life

CBT has the right idea and helps many people.
Those who are not helped by CBT, or who don’t want to admit that they should get help for a psychological weakness, can be encouraged to strive foraccomplishmentss of various kinds by chanting with SGI. The practice will get them actual proof and, without their seeking it, psychological healing.
It works for everyone I know who gave it a good try.
Here is a short synopsis.
Convert Sorrow Into Happiness
By Generalist
It was always difficult for me to overcome sorrow because of ethnic persecution and an unhappy family situation. Life was always more of a threat than an opportunity and there was little to base confidence on.
The complete collapse of my finances created a rip that let light in. It forced me to examine what I had been doing with my mind and body. Religion had already disgusted me with the cruelty and corruption of the Catholic Church in Austria. I was open to any other suggestions on how to gain in life.
At a SGI-USA meeting, I found out that the method for doing that had all been summarized as Nam Myoho Renge Kyo by the monk Nichiren. He lived in 13th century Japan. Here is the, “just add hot water” version of his doctrine.
1-Everything is always changing, yet, there is a continuity of life and truth. That’s Kyo. It also came to mean vibration, speech, teaching, sutra.
2-Causes produce effects. Sometimes this is not obvious because of time gaps between the cause and the appearance of effects. That’s Renge.
3-Life is both physical and non-physical. That’s Myoho.
4-I needed to organize my mind according to what’s real in order to win. That’s Nam.
I started to recite Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. It took some time to discard my cynicism, even when I got phenomenal results in my life and felt completed. I later found that joining with others enhances the effectiveness and gets me a big source of potential friends.
