***Trigger Warning: this article will address childhood sexual abuse and may not be suitable for all audiences.***
As our readers know by now, CPTSD Foundation is not afraid to tackle tough subjects that have for too long been considered taboo. This month’s articles will be about childhood sexual abuse and the recovery process to achieve a healthy and happy adult life.
This article will concentrate on what childhood sexual abuse is and how it relates to complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD).
Childhood Sexual Abuse, the Hidden Epidemic

However, child sexual abuse does occur, and it leaves scars that will last a lifetime.
The only way to defeat childhood sexual abuse is to bring it out into the open, where it can be clearly seen (David et al., 2016).
