“The sexual assault isn’t our identity, it’s not a life sentence, and it doesn’t have to stop us from living the life we want. Yes, the trauma of sexual assault is life-changing and it takes time and effort to heal, but the future is still bright for us. For many survivors, the healing journey can be confusing. It’s not linear, and zigzags can feel like setbacks instead of progress. Sometimes it seems as if the hardest thing we have to do is grieve and move on from the pieces of ourselves that we feel we’ve lost. Some survivors say they feel as if they lost their innocence, their optimism, and their positive memories.”

“I felt betrayed by my body. Why wasn’t I screaming?
It took me a long time to realize it was rape, since I didn’t fight back. I doubted myself.”

“No matter how your body and brain responded, what happened wasn’t your fault.
If you fought with everything you had but were still overpowered, that’s not your fault.
If you tried to run away but couldn’t, that’s not your fault.
If fighting or fleeing didn’t seem like safe options, that’s not your fault.
If your automatic survival response was to comply and attempt to please, that’s not your fault.”
