    How To Protect Yourself From Abuse, Assault And Rape?

    Have you ever been mistreated, raped, or professional fear for your life? If it happened to you, what would you do? Would you be quiet and hide, or do you fight back? Some statistics say that 60 percent of women keep rape a secret and as many as 95 percent of college students never report it. The last National Crime Victimization Survey affirms that every 2 minutes a woman is raped or attacked in america.

    This epidemic is rising

    I would like you to know you’re not alone and I want you to learn how to protect yourself so those numbers go way down. I recently interviewed an wonderful woman who found the courage to stand up to her attacker after years of constant rape and abuse. Kelly Rudolph has also made it her personal mission to help others learn how to protect themselves. As a young girl, Rudolph was anything but a social butterfly. In actuality, she didn’t have one date in high school or in school.

    When she was 22, she eventually went out on her first dateon the third date the guy raped her. Rudolph was raped again, and again, in a situation that lasted for at least two decades. Rudolph explained that she had reduced self-esteem, and that if her self-esteem was higher, she wouldn’t have been abused. She described as a victim mentality, including insecurity, feeling out of control, and poor self worth. She wanted desperately to escape her abuser, but it took two years to come up with a strategy and about six months to work out how to execute it. While planning her escape, she knew he was raping somebody else frequently as she positioned herself to escape.

    She’s not proud of it says that self-preservation takes over. I know from my training as a clinical psychologist that rapists are sociopaths who frequently have additional diagnoses like personality disorders or substance abuse. They are proficient at telling you what you expect to hear, so you think it. In polite society, people do not challenge things, and such abusers prey on that. Rudolph says women will need to rely on their gut feelings, which can be your earliest instincts and can save your life.

    I understand recent study shows we really have brain cells in our intestines. She turned her abusive situation around when she confessed she was vulnerable and registered in self-defense classes. The first course taught her to recognize red flags, but the techniques were too complex and she could not remember them. She developed her own single motion techniques girls could transfer to muscle memory. I find Rudolph’s book simple to follow and her hints for self-protection make sense.

    The attacker has reduced self-esteem also, she says, so he looks for someone poorer. Rudolph says. Confident body language includes head up, shoulders back, swinging arms and looking around. Most attackers strategy by asking a question, which assists them size up their target. Most women feel fearful, gasp, hold their breath, do not resist, and get hurt. If a person attacks, Rudolph says to strike on the nose.

    Rudolph advises. “It’s easy to crush the windpipe, which causes a fatal injury.” As an adult, I pack a gun and think women have the right to arm themselves, naturally obeying local laws. But Rudolph warns that most girls really don’t need to kill anybody, target practice is different than actually shooting a human being, and firearms can be turned against the proprietor. How do we help our children avoid becoming victims? Rudolph says. “For instance, you may think Uncle Bob is great once you see him at Thanksgiving.” But if your child believes he’s creepy, she could be picking up a vibe that Uncle Bob is a pedophile. Focus on your children and ask how they feel.
