RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) reports that one in six American women — and one in 33 men — experiences an attempted or completed rape. The federal Office for Victims of Crimes reports that one in two transgender people are sexually assaulted.
There is a shift in the brain that occurs about 90 days after a trauma happens, and the process is different for helping those with new trauma versus old trauma. The ideal time is as soon as someone is ready to seek treatment. We don’t have to delve into long explanations in order for things to change. We can process memories in a few different ways — talking is just one of them.
RAINN (Red Nacional de Violación, Abuso e Incesto) informa que una de cada seis mujeres estadounidenses, y uno de cada 33 hombres, experimenta un intento de violación o una violación completa. La Oficina Federal para Víctimas de Crímenes informa que una de cada dos personas transgénero es agredida sexualmente.
Aproximadamente 90 días después de que ocurre un trauma, ocurre un cambio en el cerebro. El proceso es diferente para ayudar a aquellos con un trauma nuevo versus un trauma antiguo. El momento ideal es tan pronto como alguien esté listo para buscar tratamiento. No tenemos que profundizar en largas explicaciones para que las cosas cambien. Podemos procesar los recuerdos de diferentes formas; hablar es solo una de ellas.
Healing from trauma is a multifaceted endeavor. Effective treatment to heal from trauma involves treating the whole person and understanding how trauma has impacted every dimension of their life.

- Feeling that they can’t function sexually, alone or in a partnership: Anxiety which impacts erectile and ejaculatory functionality, sexual pain disorders that get in the way of enjoying sex, desire discrepancy or differences in sexual style in a partnership.
- Hampered by feelings of guilt — for example, about the idea of self-pleasuring.
- Needing help with dispelling myths about sex and their own sexual health.
- Decreasing difficulty with issues around performance, communication and anxiety.
La sanación del trauma es un esfuerzo multifacético. El tratamiento eficaz para curar el trauma implica tratar a la persona en su totalidad y comprender cómo el trauma ha afectado cada dimensión de su vida.
