Hi all,
someone very close to me just got raped. I'm good at handling crisis situations, so I talked her through the drama, made sure she'd go see a doctor and get legal help, etc. Now that all this is taken care of, what shows up is the whole emotional turmoil. She's traveling in another country. I cannot hug her. Even communicating is difficult. I listen to her and tell her that the way she feels is normal, and encourage her to express her feelings and go see a therapist. But... I'm feeling quite overwhelmed. Does anybody have experience with this? Is there something smart I can say that would be more helpful?
Thanks.
