The experience 'can be extremely re-traumatizing to someone who has already experienced an invasion of their privacy and their body,' says Amy Menna, a counselor and professor at the University of South Florida who has a decade's experience researching and treating rape survivors.
Imagine heading to the airport, only to find that the security screening feels like a personal invasion. For many, particularly survivors of sexual assault, TSA pat-downs can be a source of significant distress. In this episode of 'Mental Health News Radio', counselor and professor Amy Menna from the University of South Florida sheds light on this sensitive issue.
With her extensive experience in treating rape survivors, Amy discusses how these procedures can be deeply re-traumatizing for those who have already endured such invasions of their privacy and bodies. Statistics from the Department of Justice and FBI reveal that 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men have faced attempted or completed rape, making this discussion incredibly relevant.
The episode doesn't stop at highlighting the problem; it also explores practical solutions like mental health training for TSA agents and finding alternative travel routes to minimize stress. Additionally, the hosts dive into how the mythology of Friday the 13th influences mental health, alongside intriguing insights into OCD and perfectionism. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of how everyday experiences intersect with mental health, offering both understanding and actionable advice for those affected.
