If you've experienced sexual abuse (rape, childhood sexual abuse, harassment) it's likely you noticed changes in how you think, feel and act. Maybe you believe that you deserve what happened or that there was something you should have done to stop it. You may see the world as a dangerous place and people as untrustworthy. You're likely on edge, hypervigilant and feel out of control of your emotions - or maybe you don't feel them at all. You can't sleep, relationships are difficult, you feel haunted by your memories, sex and intimacy aren't as they used to be, and it feels like nothing you've tried works. This is trauma.

Are you feeling anxious, having excessive worries, fearing judgement, or even feeling uncomfortable in your body? You’ve been trying to cope alone with how you’re feeling, but things just don’t seem to be getting any easier.

Feeling stuck in these issues and in your own head might be leading you to feel hopeless about yourself and the future.
