There are many common reactions to sexual assault or rape. These can include shock and numbness, a loss of control, anger, fear, guilt, self blame, isolation, vulnerability, and distrust. Victims can also have sexual fears and disruptions in their daily lives from the emotions that they are feeling. You may wonder when you will get your life back, or you may feel nothing at all. There is no right or wrong way to emotionally react to a sexual assault.
