Your friend need to talk to a professional, i went through a similar situaltion when i deald with the memory of my abuse. You can't solve the problems of your friend just be there for him, make sure to be there if he needs help but dont try to have all the answers.
What helped you the most going through this? What things did your therapist tell you to do when it comes to this topic?
I started therapy when i was 16. At that point i already tried to nedicate myselfe with drugs. For me one of the biggest scares that my abuse left was a disconnect with my body and my sexuallity. So a lot of my journey to "healing" dealt with reclaiming myself. Through being nicer to myself, my body and my mind. Cutting toxic people out of my life that i clinged to becouse of my toxic state of minde. Figuring out what my sexuallity is like. But thats all my trauma your friend has its own problems. Their is no general help with trauma
Thanks a lot for your input! I agree, what has to be done depends on the trauma and the individual but what you said could be very helpful to that person.
Be patient with yourself, and let you love yourself before trying to give or get love from others. Take your time.

Sad...
A friend of mine was very depressed.
I helped her by just talking with her and listening to her. I think that's the best way to treat those kind of matters...
Hope she/he will get "over" it.
2 Years ago I was raped by a group of lads that used me as a personal fuck device. It took me 8 months to recover.
Oh wow... I'm so sorry for you. What helped you recover from that?
Theropy my ex basically found out and dumped me, leaving me heart broken and pregnant. We were planning our wedding.
I'm so sorry for you. That must have been so painful. I hope things get better for you. Do you have specific tips tied to therapy that could help my acquaintance?
Is this the friend I thinking about or another friend
You don't know this person.
Some people wipe bad events from their memory to recover from what happen. Just be supportive.
talk to them make them feel at ease just listen and be there for them tell them they did not do any thing wrong make them feel safe
