In Nigeria, addressing the multifaceted needs of abuse survivors requires more than conventional therapy alone. While cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) plays a crucial role in managing psychological symptoms of abuse, such as anxiety and depression, it does not fully address the sociocultural pressures and emotional scars that many Nigerians face. The significance of community support is profound in Nigerian culture, where familial and social networks greatly influence individuals’ coping mechanisms. This paper argues for a holistic approach to healing that integrates professional psychological help, robust community support, and personal empowerment strategies. Such an approach not only aids in managing the immediate psychological impacts of abuse but also fosters a supportive environment that validates survivors’ experiences and aids in their long-term recovery. This paper explores how combining therapy with community involvement and self-care practices can offer a more comprehensive recovery pathway, enabling survivors to reclaim their autonomy and identity beyond their trauma.
