For many women, the two months of the #MeToo moment have been both exhilarating and exhausting. Exhilarating because, after so many years, some men are finally believing some women when they tell their stories of abuse and assault. Exhausting because women have been telling these stories for so many years. But there's something else many women are experiencing: trauma. Or more properly, post-traumatic stress disorder. Though not widely known, women experience PTSD at twice the rate of men. And the number one cause of PTSD? Sexual trauma.
