Part 3 of a 3 part series on Rape.
Identifying your inner strengths and weaknesses is the beginning in making it possible for you to grow and obtain strong self-esteem and self-confidence (or simply termed “self” for future reference).
Strong self adds to your awareness and psychological bearing, and helps you better deal with the emotional side effects that result from the horrifying experience of being raped. The emotional and mental torment inflicted upon the victim produces an aftermath that seems endless. A women’s dignity is instantly destroyed and she loses faith in society, men in general, and ultimately herself.
Take steps now towards bettering and enhancing yourself and removing psychological blocks that interfere with self development. You will become a stronger person who is better able to speak up for herself and her convictions. Strong self-esteem leads to a productive, caring, and happy person: strong self-confidence builds an assured attitude and personality.
I occasionally offer a self-defense course in which the first exercise I ask my student do is complete a questionnaire to help you identify with your inner self.
