“How You Can Recover from Sexual Assault” with Dana Carretta-Stein, LMHC

Statistics show that 1 in 5 women are sexually assaulted. Sexual assault is a topic we don’t typically shed light on. It can feel very uncomfortable to talk about, but it needs to be a conversation we get a little more comfortable having.

Dana provides her insight on how EMDR therapy has helped her clients start their healing journey as well as the common experiences sexual assault survivors go through during their recovery and healing journey.

• Who are people typically assaulted by.

• Resistance to report sexual assault to authorities.
• Different therapies that may be harmful for survivors of sexual assault.
• Treating a survivor of sexual assault.
