Healing from Sexual Trauma
You’re left feeling angry, confused, scared, ashamed, betrayed, humiliated and more.
You are not alone.
Whether or not physical force was part of the assault or abuse, sexual violence is a traumatizing experience. Individuals experience a wide variety of emotions, and every person has their own way of dealing with difficult emotions. Following sexual assault, many people are in shock. The survivor may appear to be calm, composed, and subdued. Some people express their feelings outwardly by crying, shaking, yelling or even laughing. Often, the survivor is confused and disoriented, and has difficulty answering questions, remembering details or understanding new information. The effects are widespread.
Healing is possible.
