[Snow White.]

I went through a rape- like experience last year and saw an assault counsellor until March this year. My life fell apart then and she withdrew because it's was beyond the rape and she couldn't help, basically.

But things have settled now and it's back, every so often I get obsessive about my experience, angry, sad, I have nightmares and it just plays on my mind.

I still have difficulty in framing what I went through as rape or as not my fault, I think I have PTSD but maybe I just want to be told that to validate my trauma.

My psychiatrist suggested I don't go back to the assault counsellor or bring it up with my psychologist because it might make things worse. But don't I still need to process it even a little bit if I'm so stuck?

I started a new job so that shook up all my anxiety related problems (washing, germs, food) so maybe it shook up this, too.

Any advice or just supportive words would be appreciated
Thank you x
