Complete Rape Recovery Video Series (27 lessons, $29.70)

One would think that simply avoiding thoughts of what happened would make it go away. One would think that - but it's not true. In fact, the continual tamping down of feelings and emotions relating to sexual assault can lead to overwhelming sadness, fear, anger, depression.

If you feel as if you're not going to be able to stop thinking about your assault if you allow yourself to begin, learn a healthier way to approach your recovery through this video.

You're not alone!
