Healing from Date Rape and Trauma
Date rape is a scary experience that can leave the victim feeling just as confused as she is scared. Often women who are date raped aren’t even sure if they have been raped; they’ll agonize over the details leading up to the assault and wonder if they somehow ‘asked for it’ even if they clearly said ‘no.’ When this self-blame is added to their feelings of shame, fear, anger and helplessness, date rape can lead to emotional trauma that can take years to heal from. Everyone heals at their own pace, but treatment and support from loved ones can speed the recovery from the emotional pain of trauma.
