1 in 5 women in the U.S. are raped or sexually assaulted at some point in their lives, often by someone they know and trust. And sexual assault isn't limited to just women; many men and boys suffer rape and sexual trauma each year. The trauma of being raped or sexually assaulted can be shattering, leaving you feeling scared, ashamed, and alone or plagued by nightmares, flashbacks, and other unpleasant memories. The world doesn’t feel like a safe place anymore. You no longer trust others. You don’t even trust yourself. You may question your judgment, your self-worth, and even your sanity. You may blame yourself for what happened or believe that you’re “dirty” or “damaged goods.” Relationships feel dangerous, intimacy impossible. And on top of that, like many rape survivors, you may struggle with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Tune in tonight on Tantalizing Talks where we share our stories ad leave it all here. This does not defin who we are. We are not VICTIMS, we are VICTORS!!
