Have you ever felt emotionally raped by someone who hurt you?

I have coined the phrase "emotionally raped" and didn't get it from anyone else.
It's how I feel about my former caregiver stealing almost all of my belongings from me. She took everything except my clothes, my bed and my refrigerator.
This happened last year. But I just can't seem to shake it off because I was always so nice to her since COVID days when she started working for me.
I called her on it for stealing some things before she stole almost everything and told her that if she saw something of mine that she wanted - all she had to do is ask me for it and if I didn't want it anymore she could have it, but just please ask me first.
I still don't know why she would deliberately hurt me this way because I used to be very thoughtful and when I was out shopping if I saw something I thought she would like, I would buy it for her and give it to her.
I was always appreciative of everything that she did each time she did the work and say please and thank you to her. But she never said "You're welcome."

In fact she once told me that I am just being nice to her because I want something. Huh? She worked for me so naturally I had to have her do things for me.

I don't know how to stop letting this get to me except that almost every day I remember something else that I had that she stole from me. She stole thousands of dollars worth of my belongings!
How can I let this go?
