uh, so how would one go about dealing with trauma related to unwanted advantages? Went to prom, my date kept touching and tried to kiss me when I didn’t him to. I’m very shy and was uncomfortable so I didn’t “no” although my body language was screaming “no!!!!” Ugh, I’ve had several scary dreams about not being able to speak up to the guy. :( I feel sick at my stomach when I get reminded of that night, and so many things trigger awful memories. Any advice?

This sounds like you need counseling. Your therapist can get to know you, and teach you how to cope healthfully and eventually come out stronger for it.

If you are a student in high school or in college, your campus should have a counselor or therapist you can talk with, and they can refer you to other professionals if needed. Otherwise, you can find low cost therapy through your local diocese’s Catholic Charities if money is an issue!
