Sexual harassment broadly refers to any kind of unwanted sexual advance, request, or behavior, including sexual assault. It’s common to experience shock, fear, anxiety, or anger in the time following sexual harassment, though people can react in very different ways over the short and long term. For some, trauma symptoms may persist, cause distress, and interfere with daily functioning. Others might experience anxiety, depression, struggle with low self-esteem, or have feelings of shame and self-blame.
Working with a trained, trusted sex therapist can help individuals process their emotions and experience following sexual harassment(s). Given the range of potential psychological responses to sexual harassment and assault, treatment can look different for each person, though many providers take a trauma-informed approach.
