I told a family member about my sexual assault

fr

I’m just feeling a bit sad and deflated. I haven’t learned how to share that traumatic story and not feel a bit triggered afterwards. I’m glad I shared it bc i think it is important for people I care about to know. But it opened up a box I don’t know how to shut very well.

Can anyone offer any advice? I guess like aftercare for trauma lol

Or just kind words I’m general. Pictures of animals. Something positive about your day
