I'm a novelist, writing a female character who's been raped. I want to get it right. Wondering if there's anyone willing to talk to me about how you came to terms with what happened? Especially in how it affected your relationship with men and how you were able to reclaim your sexuality.
I've written a number of characters with PTSD, have experience with panic attacks and depression myself. So I get that. But I've never felt like I wasn't safe from physical harm from someone else, the way I imagine you must after being raped.
Just so you know who I am, my Amazon author page is here.
This is fiction, so I don't need any names. You can post here or feel free to contact me by e-mail at teresamhillATbellsouthDOTnet. Thank you.
