Current Events Unearthing Old Wounds

With #metoo in the news and Brett Kavanaugh's recent appointment to the Supreme Court, it has been hard to avoid the topic of sexual assault lately. Although survivors of sexual trauma often try to protect themselves from being exposed to triggering topics, in a news cycle of sexual assault and rape being talked about everywhere you turn, old trauma can come bubbling to the surface. This can look like symptoms such as an increase in anxiety, difficulty sleeping, sensory flashbacks, or increased hypervigilance, to name a few.
