Coping with an assault is difficult, but not impossible. You are likely to experience a wide range of different feelings and reactions to the assault such as anger, sadness, fear, and shame. You may feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster. It can make it easier if you allow yourself to experience the whole range of emotions you will go through as you come to grips with what has happened. Although you may feel as if you’re the only one experiencing these feelings-remember that your reactions are normal and that you can and will get over that mountain stronger than ever before. If you are a victim of assault and live in California, visit www.victims.ca.gov. The California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB) can help pay bills and expenses that result from violent crime. Visit their website to view additional resources that will help you steer your life back on track. You can also reach out to The Fun House Cats if you would like to share your experiences. The Fun House is always open to help you cope and get through your toughest and darkest times. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thefunhousecats/message
