how can a rape victim overcome the psychological damage so that they can have sex again?
Question Details: my sister has been married for over a month and hasnt consumated her marriage yet, sexwise. severl years ago, a guy she was dating forced himself on her- he didnt actually penetrate her, but psychologically it was the whole thing for her. now, she says that when she and her husband try to make love, it hurts so bad that she shakes for about half an hour afterward, she has tried taking lortab before, she has had an exam by her doctor which he said everything was normal. she claims to have excruciating headaches, nausea, and always has people over for dinner, game nights, and then gets tired early and goes to bed, we think so she wont have to face it. She HATES counselors and shrinks, and wont even consider the thought of going to talk to them. im pretty sure her current problems lead back to her rape. what else can she do to maybe help get through this-
