“Hello there! I’m here to provide you with a bit of information on the various short and long-term reactions you can expect from survivors who have confronted any violation or violence. I would like to remind you that suggestions on this post should not be taken as a one-size-fits-all approach. What the survivor is undergoing after having confronted a traumatic experience is normal. What you are going through while supporting a survivor is absolutely okay and typical too! If you need additional resources or just someone to talk to, feel free to reach out to Imaara Foundation."
