Klara Castanho makes her first appearance after being abused; psychologist analyzes traumas experienced by her

Last Saturday, the 4th, Klara Castanho made his first public appearance after his personal history leaked last year on the show High hours. “I was forced to go public with the hardest thing in my life”vented on the TV Globo program.

The actress revealed that she was raped, got pregnant and decided to give the baby up for adoption. “People were very kind to me. As much as people don’t understand, people chose to respect my decision. After I went public, once again, in a forced way, I denounced all the crimes. What remains for me is to trust in Justice, and I trust a lot”, he said.

the psychologist Alexander Bez commented on the marks that victims like Klara carry after being victims of abuse.

“A psychotherapeutic trauma that demands application, focus, determination and internal resistance on the part of the victim. Of course, any raped woman wants to recover, the will is completely inherent in her psychic apparatus. Rape carries unimaginable negative consequences, the results are unpredictable for every woman. The recovery process is essentially psychotherapeutic, and in thousands of cases drug interaction with anxiolytics and antidepressants. Stipulating time is impossible, but many take one to two decades to recover.”, he said.

The expert continued:“The traumas will have an individual impact on each victim, needing to respect their mental and psychological time. The scar will remain, but a well-performed treatment, without haste and without chronological attention, is essential.”.

“There are cases in which the follow-up is for life, there are others in which more moderate maintenance and follow-up will be needed. But usually the average time for recovery and trauma processing is at least a decade. In her case, it is a peak worse, because there are external judgments. It aggravates the case”, he said.

The psychologist said that this type of situation can lead to a difficulty in relating to another person after the trauma.

“It greatly enhances emotional, sentimental rejection and, fundamentally, intimate-sexual interaction. Genitally speaking, the woman feels hurt, injured. It is a pain experienced and ‘relived’ every day. The patience of a future companion will have to be decisive. And in cases of rape, only the victim will know when she is ready to engage in a new relationship for two”commented.
