Sexual Assault can have long lasting effects on victims and families. It is a life-altering event. Many victims fear they will be killed or permanently disfigured during a sexual assault, even if such acts are not threatened. Perpetrators will use whatever level of violence necessary to achieve their goal.
As a survivor of sexual assault you may find yourself having some of the following feelings and reactions:
These are all common. You are not to blame for what happened. You are alive, you are a survivor and now your journey is the process of recovery. Reaching out for support is part of the healing process.
You may be wondering why this happened to you? Why would a person assault another person in this way? Why was I victimized? It is normal to want to find a reason why this has happened.
