You are believed, and you are not alone. The effects of past sexual trauma are real and treatable, and support is here whenever you feel ready.
How past trauma can affect you
A distressing or unwanted sexual experience, recent or long ago, can leave lasting effects on how you feel, sleep, trust and experience intimacy. These reactions are a normal response to something that wasn't okay, not a weakness. With gentle, trauma-informed care from a female doctor, these effects can ease over time.
Common effects
- Anxiety, flashbacks or intrusive memories
- Difficulty with trust or intimacy
- Low mood, shame or feeling numb
- Sleep problems or feeling constantly on edge
- Avoiding reminders of what happened
