Does anyone have any knowledge of the treatment of someone who is traumatised by a sexual assault as a child.

I believe they've been carrying it around for years.

Sometimes he has this forced smile on his face kind of like The Joker in Batman.

I know he's started going for counselling but suffers memory loss etc.

They have recommended things such as getting exercise everyday and relaxing activities.....
