Why Does Sexual Assault Hurt So Much?

Sexual assault is one of the most violating experiences a person can go through, but why does it hurt so much? In this episode, we break down the impact of sexual assault in a way that actually makes sense. From what trauma does to the brain to how it strips away autonomy, to the way society twists the narrative- we’re talking about all of it. Healing isn’t linear, but understanding what happened to you is a step forward. Let’s talk about it. Cheers!Get Educated: www.rainn.org/statistics/victims-sexual-violenceGot questions?
