No...... Getting over abuse requires working through it. Being strong and brave and applying that to working through the abuse will get you over it but just being strong and brave without working through the abuse won't ever get you over the abuse - ever.

Being in individual counseling will help you to work through the abuse.

There are no shortcuts here and denial will get you nowhere.
