It's not your fault. When a person is a victim of a violent crime like rape, fear can paralyze you, and you are powerless.
How do you get over rape?
- Have you ever tried group therapy with other women whom have experienced sexual assault? This would be a good way to begin healing with a safe circle of friends.
- Prolonged Exposure Therapy (endorsed by psychologist Edna Foa) may help you.
- Call RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network) at 1-800-656-HOPE or
www.rainn.org for a referral to special programs that provide free counseling to victims of sexual assault. (Can locate the womens groups for you.)
- Remind yourself it's not your fault.
