Potential Harm from Sexual Assault

Everyone responds to the trauma of sexual assault differently. And yet, there are common themes that survivors of sexual violence report feeling. Some of that harm is physical, and some is emotional/psychological.

  • Physical Harm. Sexual violence is so much more, but at its most basic level, it is a physical attack. During the assault, victims may be injured and sustain cuts, bruises, broken bones, and more. Victims may also become infected with a sexual transmitted disease or become pregnant.
  • Emotional and Psychological Harm. Physical harm is a common problem that sexual violence can cause but so is emotional/psychological harm. For example, victims often report dealing with deep-seated feelings of shame after the attack, blaming themselves for what they may have done to provoke the attack or may not have done to stop the attack. Even though they know logically that what happened to them was not their fault, victims often have a difficult time feeling it. Victims also frequently report experiencing depression or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. They may also experience eating or sleeping challenges, self-harm behavior, or even suicide ideation.

Healing and Moving Forward

Anyone who has lived through sexual violence deserves support and healing. Many people find that healing in therapy. If you are ready to go to counseling, here are a few tips for finding a good fit for you…

  • Before scheduling an appointment, ask about the counselor’s past experiences helping victims of sexual violence. Understanding what sexual violence is and the harm it can cause is important.
  • Inquire about what type of therapy the counselor offers. Trauma-Informed Dialectical Behavior Therapy (TIDBT) and Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TICBT) are just two examples.
  • If you decide to schedule an appointment, know that it is important that you feel safe and comfortable. The therapist’s personality and style should help you feel at home.
