Meet Megan, a 27-year-old Masters of Clinical Psychology student who experienced back-to-back assaults during her first year of living in Los Angeles, seven years ago. We discuss date rape, dissociation, the difficulties of boundary-setting, and the role boxing has played in Megan’s healing. Also mentioned during this interview is the tonic immobility experienced by many rape survivors, undermining the myth that all rapes are preceded by active resistance by victims. Special note: survivors may be experiencing added layers of alienation, panic, or increased hypervigilance amid the Corona pandemic. If anyone needs additional support, please visit www.rainn.org or email me at shop@sara-abdallah.com to be connected to more survivors who will understand what you’re going through! Stay safe.
