如果你的朋友或认识的人被性侵犯了, 他们可能会经历各种各样的情绪反应. 对一些人来说,性侵犯的情感影响可能是直接和短期的. For others, the effects can be long-lasting. 你的朋友可能会发现谈论这些感受很有帮助.
How You Can Support Your Friend
Listen. Your friend has chosen to speak with you which demonstrates their respect and trust in you. It is important to know that not all victims choose to speak about their experiences immediately after a rape, it might be years later. 做一个好的倾听者,表现出同理心,但让你的朋友说话. Do not push for details.
Believe them. Survivors need to validate their experience. Be sure your friend knows that you support them.
Don’t blame the survivor. 性侵犯是一种支配和羞辱的行为. No one deserves to be raped. Survivors often blame themselves, it may help if you reinforce that the assault was not their fault.
Allow the survivor to control the situation. Let your friend determine the pace of healing. 帮助你的朋友了解可用的选择, 鼓励你的朋友保持开放的心态. Provide a listening ear and support in the situation, however be cautious not to take control. 无论他们选择做什么决定,都充当他们的推动者.
鼓励幸存者尽快就医. All of the emergency rooms in Indianapolis have a Center of Hope which provides services at no-cost by a specially trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. Seeking medical attention as soon as possible will allow the survivor to have options for their health and more control if they choose to proceed with legal action against the perpetrator. The Centers of Hope at St. Vincent and IU-Methodist are recommended due to close proximity to Butler University.
Don’t be afraid to ask for outside help. 你的朋友可能需要医疗照顾或咨询. 帮助你的朋友联系受害者辩护律师, Counseling Services 或者在校园或社区内的其他支持. 不管袭击发生多久了, 幸存者可以接受咨询服务的咨询和转介.
How You Can Take Care of Yourself
了解自己的感受,试着控制自己的情绪. 你也可能会感到困惑、受伤、愤怒或害怕. Such feelings are normal. Please keep in mind your reaction to the situation as well; do not attempt to approach the perpetrator on your own. 也不要试图报复行凶者. 重要的是,你要以尊重幸存者意愿的方式行事.
Don’t be afraid to ask for outside help. 找一个幸存者以外的人谈谈你的感受. Speaking with someone in Counseling Services 或者另一个人会帮助你管理自己的情绪. Counseling is available for you in Counseling Services, located in the Health and Recreation Complex.
Know and respect your own limits. 你能做的只有这么多来帮助你的朋友. You can provide support, compassion, and companionship when your friend wants it, 但是尽量不要做出你无法完成的承诺.
Remember that it was not your fault. You may feel guilty, thinking that somehow you could have prevented your friend’s sexual assault. Don’t forget that sexual assault is a violent crime and you are not responsible for someone else’s actions.
要意识到应对性侵犯是一个长期的过程. The impact of rape can take months or years to surface, it does not just disappear with time. 一定要给自己和朋友足够的时间来疗伤. Be patient with one another.
