As a survivor of sexual assault, I am curious about post-damage. Not trauma, exactly, but the things that happen once damage ceases. This does, hopefully, parlay into trauma, but often it does not. It’s often a bad scar. The body heals as the body heals, but the brain? The soul? The credit score? The heart? I don’t quite know.
