Session 18: Healing After A Sexual Assault

<p>The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.</p> <p>In today's session I am joined by guest therapist, Dr. Shena Young, a Body Inclusive Clinical Psychologist, in California. We discussed terminology relevant to sexual assault, misunderstanding about consent, historical implications that shape reporting and treating sexual assaults, and the need for culturally specific and trauma-informed practices.</p> <p><strong>Where to Find Dr. Young</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.embodiedtruthhealing.com" target= "_blank">http://www.embodiedtruthhealing.com</a></p> <p>Instagram: @embodiedtruthhealing</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Courage-Heal-Survivors-Sexual-Anniversary/dp/0061284335" target="_blank">The Courage to Heal Book</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Courage-Heal-Workbook-Survivors-Sexual/dp/0060964375/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D0XVXZH9E8C137JMM39F" target="_blank">The Courage to Heal Workbook</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1501038982&sr=1-1&keywords=the+body+keeps+the+score" target="_blank">The Body Keeps the Score </a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Trauma-through-Yoga-Reclaiming/dp/1556439695/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1501039020&sr=1-1&keywords=overcoming+trauma+through+yoga" target="_blank">Overcoming trauma through yoga </a></p> <p> </p> <p>RAINN: Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network, the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization; website provides information about sexual assault, safety & prevention, what to do after being assaulted, provides resources and operates the national sexual assault hotline. <a href= "https://www.rainn.org/">https://www.rainn.
