The Emotional Healing Process
Recovery from sexual assault or harassment takes time and effort. To help the recovery process, you should find safety, take good care of yourself, and seek support.
Emotional Stages of Recovery
Everyone reacts differently to sexual assault and harassment. But there are five stages of recovery that nearly all victims experience. It is not important to pass through each stage in order; recovery is not a linear process. Survivors may pass through each stage in a different order and at different times.
