When trauma survivors reject community healing processes

I was sexually abused by someone respected in our community and when I finally spoke up they said we should do traditional healing but I just want him gone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Traditional restorative approaches can feel inadequate or retraumatizing to survivors who need safety and distance rather than reconciliation with those who harmed them.
