How to Listen When Someone You Know Discloses Sexual Harassment or Assault
This post is based on a longer article by Dr. Jennifer J. Freyd (Professor of Psychology, University of Oregon)
Every day now in the news, we learn of various actions taken by those facing allegations of sexual assault and harassment. One set of actions has to do with their reported sexual harassment and/or assaults. Another set of actions has to do with how they respond when accused. Both types of action are crucially important. A good response can at least do some good (sincere apologies can be healing). But a bad response not only exacerbates the harm of the first injury, it also inflicts new injury, and does so in ways that are usually public and ongoing (well past the media moving on).
