I survived. Highs, Lows and Lessons From Rape 1-Year On. A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

Rape and other forms of sexual violence is beyond awful. It is one of the worse, most traumatic and devastating things that can happen to a person. During sexual violence, someonetakes everything away from you, your control, your consent, your ability to do anything at all. You just go into survival mode and the consequences of sexual violence are immense. There isn’t a single area of your life that sexual violence isn’t impacted by. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, to mark the one-year anniversary of my rape, I want to explain the highs, lows and lessons from the past year as I survived my rape and everything I had to deal with afterwards. There were a lot of awful, horrific things that I had to deal with as a rape survivor in the past year, but there have been some highs too. By the end of this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll know some of the negative mental health consequences of sexual violence, how sexual violence can destroy lives and how people can deal with sexual trauma. This is a great, deeply personal episode that you’re going to learn a lot from.

In the psychology news section, you'll learn how delusional themes are more varied than previously thought, what teenage girls think about the gender mental health gap, and a new study on conscious preception.

AND in the personal update, I share the results of a fascinating paper I read about an intervention to counteract Stereotype Threat in older adults, amongst other interesting things.
