councelling helps most when we have something to cry about, i think. for someone to be able to normalise her response (e.g., just because she didn't fight him off... just because she froze... doesn't mean it was her fault).

self defence courses might help, too...

so that you learn a self-defence auto response in those kinds of situations and feel safer in your ability to handle them.

i'm glad that she has you to talk to about all this. maybe... she doesn't need a t if she has such good social supports
