sexual abuse
Children who are victims of sexual abuse can get help at Kinderpraktijk Uithoorn. It is important that the sexual abuse has stopped when the treatment starts. If sexual abuse is suspected, the aim is to first investigate whether there is sexual abuse, followed up by taking the appropriate steps.
With the use of cognitive behavioral therapy, the abuse can be given a place in the life history of the child. Depending on the severity and intensity of the event, different methods and techniques can be used. Everything depends on the child and the specific situation. Examples are writing down the life story, playing out what happened with playmobil figures, or drawing what happened. If necessary and appropriate, EMDR can also be part of the treatment.
The number of meetings depends on the child itself and the severity and duration of the abuse. Each treatment takes 45 minutes.
