Psychological therapy can be extremely helpful in the process of coping with sexual trauma. It offers a safe space to process the trauma, where one can gain a deeper understanding of the feelings, emotions, and symptoms that arose following the assault and learn effective coping mechanisms. It also provides insight into how sexual trauma affects relationships and day-to-day functioning, and can help alleviate the guilt, shame, and frustration that often accompany such experiences. In this way, it can lead to a marked improvement in quality of life.
