Do: If you suspect a woman is experiencing
intrusive symptoms, consult a mental
health professional. Ask the woman sensitive,
open-ended questions about her current
state, such as “I noticed you tossed
and turned in your sleep last night. How
was your sleep?”
Avoid: Being insensitive, dismissive or judgmental.
Don’t say things such as “It’s over,
just don’t think about it,” or “Try to think
happy thoughts before you fall asleep
