Journey of Healing
by Teresia Smith
Embarking on a journey of healing after sexual assault can be daunting, but it is also a courageous act that displays fortitude and bravery. Unpredictable emotions linger after an assault and can make a survivor feel like their life is out of their control. Upsetting thoughts and flashback memories may make it hard to maintain focus or to have any inner peace. By choosing to work on your healing, you are choosing to reclaim your life and not let the abuser win.
