Talking is often the best medicine for crime victims. Victims need non-judgmental support and the time to heal at their own pace. A crime experience can stir up a variety of emotions in the victim and the victim's friends and family. The victim may feel anger, guilt, distrust and loneliness. You are not alone in these feelings.
Many victims experience similar reactions but there is no right or wrong way to feel.
You are not crazy. A victim's sense of personal safety has been violated. It is normal to view the world as threatening or confusing for a time. Talk with others about your feelings. Talking about the crime experience often helps victims heal the invisible wound and come to terms with what happened.
