Bea,
May I call you that? I tend to shorten a lot of names. I also had similar feelings of responsibility and shame after being raped. I'm not much older than you, and I tell myself that it no longer affects me, but I am sure that it does. Literally, when I had my first session with my T about a year ago, I was telling him my whole life saga and current situation. And then I said, "Oh yeah, I suppose I should tell you that I was raped about 15 years ago." It was delivered as such an after thought. But when I talked with him about it, the feelings came back and I still have "stuff" to process. And here I was feeling so proud that I had "gotten over it".It's a terrible thing to happen to anyone. And it's not your fault. But I totally understand questioning yourself about it. Please take extra gentle care of yourself.
