Background
A mother in recovery came to Modra seeking support for grief and the long-lasting impact of childhood sexual abuse. She had already taken courageous steps in her recovery, but the weight of unresolved pain and fractured family relationships continued to affect her daily life.
The Challenge
While committed to sobriety, she was navigating:
- Lingering grief and trauma from her past.
- Strained relationships with her children.
- Legal challenges connected to her years of active addiction.
- A struggle to find meaning and hope beyond survival.
The Modra Approach
Through therapy, Modra provided a safe, compassionate space where she could:
- Confront grief and trauma without judgment.
- Recognize and build upon her inherent strengths.
- Explore healthier coping strategies rooted in empowerment.
- Reimagine her role as both an individual and a mother.
Outcomes
Over the course of therapy, she:
- Discovered an empowered sense of self and reclaimed meaning in her life.
- Mended broken relationships with her children, rebuilding trust and connection.
- Successfully overcame legal challenges that once felt insurmountable.
- Began to view healing not just as her own goal, but as a collective journey for her family.
Inspired by her progress, she encouraged her children to begin therapy themselves — opening the door for generational healing and resilience.
Why It Matters

Her courage illustrates how, with the right support, healing can ripple outward — nurturing healthier relationships, stronger families, and more hopeful tomorrows.
