I remember the feeling I had after being sexually abused. I felt dirty. Filthy. But no matter how I scrubbed, I could not make that feeling go away. Eventually, it turned to rage.
About two years ago, I befriended a young woman who had been brutally beaten and raped. I have encouraged her to get help (therapy), but for a number of reasons, she has not. She often tells me she feels dirty. Does anyone have some ideas on how I might help her with this?
