Recovery from Sexual Violence
Sexual assault is a violation of a person’s body and capacity for self-determination. It can radically affect the survivor, and every sexual assault survivor’s experience is different. The information provided here includes some of the common reactions to sexual assault, but is not meant to be prescriptive in any way. Perhaps you have told a friend or a family member, people who are close to you and can be supportive throughout this ordeal. You may also have met with a counselor, or have thought about going to a counselor but not yet taken that step.
