Trauma Therapy Success: Zahra's Recovery Story

By Delman Kareem | Head of PR and Fundraising

Note: We have changed the client’s name for confidentiality reasons.

Zahra, a bright and ambitious young woman from a supportive family, had her life drastically altered by domestic violence. Her journey from a promising future to a shattered existence is a stark reminder of the enduring trauma inflicted by gender-based violence. Yet, through resilience and the support of the Jiyan Foundation, Zahra transformed her pain into purpose, becoming a beacon of hope for other survivors.

A life interrupted
Zahra, a 31-year-old university graduate and women’s rights activist used to excel academically and professionally. However, her life took a devastating turn when her husband’s behaviour shifted from loving to abusive. Their once-promising marriage deteriorated into a toxic relationship characterized by violence and emotional turmoil. To ensure the safety of her unborn child and escape the escalating abuse, Zahra sought refuge in a women’s shelter.

The path to divorce was difficult, marked by legal challenges and societal stigma. Isolated and judged, Zahra retreated into a shell, and her spirit weakened. The weight of her experiences cast a long shadow, resulting in anger, despair, and suicidal thoughts.

Transformation and empowerment
Seeking solace and support, Zahra turned to the Jiyan Foundation. She embarked on a healing and recovery journey through intensive psychological counseling. With the aid of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), anger management techniques, and life skills training, Zahra gradually reclaimed her agency.

After completing nine therapy sessions, Zahra’s progress was remarkable. She reported significant improvements in her mental health, including a reduction in depression and PTSD symptoms. Her anger management skills had improved, allowing her to navigate difficult situations more calmly.

We hope that by sharing this case study, we can shed light on the transformative power of psychological treatment and the importance of supporting survivors of domestic violence. The client’s journey demonstrates the effectiveness of our trauma care and health programs, as well as the positive impact they can have on individuals’ lives.

As we continue our journey, we remain committed to driving positive change and creating a brighter future for all. With your donations, we are confident that we can build upon our successes and make an even more significant impact in the days ahead.
Thank you once again for your generous support and belief in our mission.
