A deeper look at what happens in the first 2 years after experiencing sexual trauma.
- Between 17-25% of women and 1-3% of men will report an instance of sexual abuse within their lifetime – however, research suggests up to 80% of sexual violence goes unreported, so the number of people who have experienced sexual abuse is much higher than you think.
- A 2004 study takes a look at the psychological healing process sexual abuse survivors experience within the first 21 months after their assault.
- Results of this study prove the decrease in behavioral self-blame that survivors reported feeling within the first 21 months after their attack greatly aided in their recovery.
