Sexual Assault

"Sexual violence represents the ultimate wielding of power and control. It constitutes a violation of a sacred place that is the intimate, soulful core of the self" (CALCASA, 2008, Support for Survivors Mini Book).

 

Victims of sexual violence often experience a number of common effects. These may include:

​

• Flashbacks

• Nightmares

• Difficulty falling or staying asleep

• Anger and rage

• Difficulty concentrating

• Hypervigilence

• Anxiety and panic

• Self-blame, guilt, and shame

• Emotional numbing

• Physical symptoms and health problems
