Support that does not require you to tell more than you are ready to tell.

There is no single “right” way to respond

People may experience fear, anger, numbness, self-blame, body discomfort, relationship changes, intrusive memories, avoidance, or difficulty trusting. Others may feel very little at first and notice the impact later.

Therapy can focus on

• Restoring a sense of safety and control
• Reducing trauma symptoms and triggers
• Working with shame, guilt, or self-blame
• Reconnecting with the body at a tolerable pace
• Relationships, intimacy, boundaries, and trust

You do not have to disclose graphic details in order to begin therapy or to ask whether this practice may be a fit.
