I was a volunteer at the Rape Crisis Center 20 years ago. I went through the training but after my first hospital visit and court visit I couldn't go back. I was re-traumatized, and I realized I wasn't prepared to help someone when I was so vulnerable. I still feel like I want to help others especially concerning areas of abuse but I may have to do it through my stories and paintings and music. I do think writing and walking and breathing are powerful inexpensive tools for people to get free. Maybe there's a way I can help.
