It wasn't easy.
In fact, my therapy didn't come until this year. I went three or four years without the proper supports, without any sort of mental health intervention or the ability to even process the trauma. I ended up in an emergency state this year and going through a community program in my neighbourhood—in my community—that supports victims for different reasons, but mainly to do with violence and sexual assault. I was able, because of a past trauma, to get the supports from the program that I needed. It was because of a past trauma, not because of this, when this should have been the priority to treat and to support.
