Message of Healing
No longer feeling ashamed of my experience. Accepting that it occurred but that whatever happened the experience was real and I did not lead him on. My short skirt, the alcohol, and the clothes I was wearing did not cause my rapist's wrongdoing. Healing means having self-compassion for myself. Stigma and memories may affect me but through self-love and self-care I can move forward. Therapy has helped me find strategies and coping mechanisms to be compassionate and no longer feel shame, guilt, and panic.
