How to end the childhood rape trauma?
I have this friend that as been raped when se was a child, and now she can't have sex because all the bad memories come up everytime she wants to do anything related to sex. Have you experienced something similar and found your way out of this? If yes, how did you do it? Or are you some other person that knows anything about this? Rude answers will be reported.
Answer:
I have no first hand experience with this, but I have studied interventions with rape victims. Your friend has a long and difficult path ahead of her, but there is a way out of this. She needs to begin an intensive therapy treatment, with a very good psychiatrist/psychotherapist. There are also some meditation and hypnosis techniques that have had mixed results (either extremely effective, or totally ineffective) and she will need to discuss those options with her therapist. Don't worry, there is a way out of it, but she will need to do a lot of work.
If she is still having issues about her past trauma, I think she needs some therapy. Yes, something like that leaves an imprint on you, but the normal human response is to deal with it and move on. She shouldn't feel bad about getting some help.
That's sad, I hope she'll get through it. The best thing to do is take her to a psychiatrist- someone who can get really through to her and can erase some of it. That's how some of my family and friends get through some serious life issues. God bless.
I think that this is Post Traumatic Stress disorder and there is tons of things that she can do to get past it. First, she needs to take care of herself, Exercise everyday, exercise the anger out, meditate, seek as much counseling and group therapy, journal, art therapy, music therapy, socializing, as possible and not be afraid to seek it out, and most importantly turn to God for comfort.
