    • Close Rape

      I am a male rape survivor of a female rapist who used a spiked drink to subdue me and a male who attempted to rape me while intoxicated. I suppressed the memories of those nights for nearly 20 years. The memories came back recently and I am currently experiencing PTSD as I begin the long-neglected task of healing.

      Treatments

      EMDR Too Soon to Tell
      I will be starting this treatment on 1262008.
      Rape Counseling Working / Worked
      I've found that I often look forward to seeing my counsellor. It has sometimes, sadly enough, been the highlight of my week recently.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I feel better by talking about it. I get triggered hard sometimes during the discussion, but a little more free afterward.
