Possibly: If you will invest in the emotional work needed this is possible.You will need to contact a rape crisis center or other source of information to find a counsellor and/or support group. Over time you can rid yourself of the residual feelings and chart a course to the future. It will take time, but without the work, you will continue to suffer.

Talk: With a psychologist or other therapist with a specialty in treating sexual trauma. Also, connect with other survivors of a similar trauma (e.g. rape, incest, etc) so that you see you are not alone. Take care of this,
