How do you cope with men sexualizing you and objectifying you after you've experienced an assault or trauma? Before my assault, it was just a normal daily thing; men staring me down but never looking at my eyes, accidentally touching or grabbing me.. But after my assault, I just never recovered in that way. Every comment, every look just puts me right back in that room, his hands are back holding me still... How do you cope?

Hi! I can understand what you are feeling and I have no concrete answers. I do wonder if how we feel is going to ease with time? I know I started wearing more layers of clothing as if they could hide and protect me. What have you tried?
