This course has better equipped me to assist, serve and counsel victims of sexual abuse. I gained a great deal of knowledge from the different topics within this course. Some of the key areas I found extremely informative were: parents empowering their children by educating their children about sexual assault and the potential abuser, that will greatly reduce the risk of our children becoming victims. Looking at the stages of Rape Trauma Syndrome, iI was provided additional understanding of the possible effects and recovery of traumatic events. In addition the lessons covering Domestic Violence and Emotional Abuse were also quite helpful in painting the full picture of possible scenarios when counseling victims of sexual abuse. However, I must say for this course I found lesson seven on Passive Aggressive Behavior the most challenging. In this section of study I recognized behaviors of my old man looking back at me, with the enemy attempt to deceive me in believing that was who I still am. Then I realized because of both who I was and who I am now in Christ, I can assist others in their struggle with this disorder. My biggest take away from this course is: Counsel against the faulty belief systems, not the emotions or feelings. We must assist in helping the victim, survivor and counselee intimately to discover Jesus, who they truly are in Christ. Then, they will find freedom and healing from sexual abuse. Show more
