What can I do to help my ex w/c is a rape victim?

she needs therapy. nobody ever wants to go to a therapist because we're afraid of spilling out or insecurities and allowing ourselves to become vulnerable to another human being, but she's just not in a position to deal with it herself right now. your girlfriend and myself are very similiar, we're both stripping for med school, and we were both raped, and i know that if i hadn't stuck with therapy, i wouldn't be in the okay place that i am now, and there's a high possibility she won't be okay either if she doesn't get help from someone who knows what they're talking about. right now she probably feels alone and like nobody understand what she's going through or thinking, but the sad truth is, she's not teh only woman to ever be raped. it happens so often, and a therapist has dealt with it many times. they'll be the only ones who completely understand and can help. i know she doesn't want to go, but if you love her you need to stay on her about it before she becomes self destructive, especially if she is stripping. the reason some strippers become involved with prostitution and drugs is because they're in a bad place when they're stripping and they don't see someone to help them out, and they become self destructive. don't be too pushy, but just like a mother might stick with something she believes would be good for her child, stick with her going to therapy. it'll make a big difference, and it'll make her feel human again. as much as you want to help, you just don't have the experience a therapist does, and that's not an insult, therapists go to school for 8 years just to help people like your girlfriend with these situations.
