I The prevention manual also sug-
:sts some surprise tactics and ac-
>ns such as:
• Faking a seizure or convulsion.
• Throwing up or urinating.
• Acting crazy, drunk or high.
If the victim does surprise the at-
cker with something he does not
;pect, it must be realistic, the man-
tl says.
Castoria said the typical victim’s
action is to close her eyes and
cream.
2“But this will keep you from re-
embering what the rapist looked
(ike,” she said. “So every man you
[see could be the one who attacked
lou. You need to be able to identify
he man so you can say, ‘No, that is
[tot him.’ ”
She said screaming wastes energy
hat could be used to protect the vic-
6im and to think.
However, many times selt-delense
iloes not work.
Castoria said victims do not have
jmy choice but to do what the at
tacker demands for fear of being
killed.
She said that although sexual as
sault victims may feel guilty, they
should realize they did not have a
choice.
“You are not accountable when
you become a victim,” she said.
Dr. Anne Wehrly, director of
Counseling and Assessment Clinic,
said it is important to the victim’s re
covery for her to realize she is not to
blame — she is the victim.
That realization is an important
point made in counseling.
“Counseling is of paramount im
portance to the victim,” Wehrly said.
“It helps the victim to gain perspecti
ve.”
Castoria said victims should get
counseling immediately after the as
sault. Rape is a traumatic event that
cannot be kept inside, she said.
“It should be dealt with right now
before they begin the rest of their li
fe,” Castoria said. “Why postpone
what will eventually have to be dealt
with?
“Talk to people who are trained to
help you. People who understand
and can explain the different emo
tions you are feeling.”
Counseling is conducted on either
an individual or group basis.
Individual counseling is ap
proached differently by different
counselors, she said, but the focus is
always on the victim.
She said group counseling is im
portant to recovery.
“The group setting is important to
show that the victim is not alone,”
she said. “It helps to see that other
victims have the same feelings.”
Castoria said the group is a vital
part of counseling.
“Victims are sitting in a room with
people who have been there,” she
said. “They can see what is behind
them and what is ahead of them.
They can see there is a point of re
covery!
“They can see their feelings are
normal. It may not feel good but it is
normal.”
