Teletherapy. Natalie, substance use during telehealth sessions, suicide risk assessment and prevention. Self-blame after sexual assault / Symptom Media
Natalie is the victim of sexual assault and is experiencing feelings of guilt and shame due to self-blame. She discusses her perception that she is at fault for the assault because she was engaging in certain sexual acts with the perpetrator, despite refusing to engage in intercourse. The provider utilizes Socratic questioning to confirm and highlight the objective facts of the event and points out Natalie's inclination to blame herself as opposed to placing blame on the individual responsible for committing the crime. Natalie's religious background is a contextual factor introduced in the clip that likely influences, at least in part, her view that she is "dirty" because of the assault
