Could a rape that happened years ago be the cause of my anxiety?
I was raped repeatedly when I was younger. I told my parents and action was taken, but now that I’m an adult, I suffer from extreme anxiety.

<p>It's not unusual for traumatic experiences that happened when we were younger to stay with us when we get older. &nbsp;Traumatic experiences can become embedded in our bodies, as well as in our emotions. &nbsp;If the issue doesn't get a chance to get resolved within, then external action doesn't necessarily take care of the problem. &nbsp;Seek out a qualified trauma therapist so you can start to deal with the issues you're grappling with.</p>
