YOU ARE A STUDENT. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. I'VE BEEN A PSSYCH GRAD SINCE 06. WORKED IN THE FIELD FOR 5 YEARS AND AM NOW COMPLETING A MASTERS IN M.F.T.Originally Posted by Stockholm Patriot
I know it's not what you we're looking to hear, but AS AN ACTUAL PSYCHOLOGY student, from my understanding it's always best to present
REAL LIFE options to the patient to reinforce the healing process upon a concrete foundation rather than abstract fail mechanical responses of "I'm sorry, things will get better".

You don't have to be a psych major to know that--anybody who knows multiple people who have been raped can point out similarities in the way they changed after the incident.

It's good not to sugarcoat things and give OP a false hope or unlikely expectation. This is reality. I know a lot of girls who have been raped, and they all have psychological issues regarding relationships and sex/intimacy. I would imagine somebody would turn to NT or any online message board so they can get raw responses from people who aren't worried about being frank and honest for whatever reason. I'm sure nobody wishes him the worst, but it is a bad situation and OP is going to be able to better handle it if he knows the realities of it from people who have gone through similar things.Originally Posted by oidreez

so it's ok to tell a man that his girl is now "damaged goods" and "gonna turn into a lesbian"? what's the point of telling him that?
