What assumptions about sexual violence might be misinforming you?
“With each assault, a part of me was stolen. However, no one (not even myself) knew the theft had occurred because I became a fake strong person. In actuality I was scared of the world, but you’d never know it because I excelled in school, sports, and my career. Everyone mistakenly thought I was over it, but it was all a charade.”
- Dr. Jo Wakeela Jones
According to the Center for Disease Control, one in two women and one in three men have experienced sexual violation at some point during their lifetime.
Never underestimate the power of sexual assault to psychologically harm the victim. The violation on the victim is more important than the so-called “facts” about what physically occurred.
Learn about PTSD, secondary wounding, and the myths that surround sexual violence.

Course Instructor

Dr. Jo Wakeela Jones

Licensed Educator

Dr. Jo Wakeela Jones has her doctorate degree in healthcare education and has worked as an executive in various health care settings for 40 years. She says her over-achieving behaviors have actually been a numbing agent to hide the pain of four different sexual assaults: “The smile on my face was fake. My joy was manufactured. I was performing a good imitation of happiness and sorrow, but I had difficulty making meaningful eye contact because I was afraid my scars would be seen. My soul was hurt. I physically and emotionally ached. I remained broken inside for many decades.” Dr. Jo tells her story of pain, self-discovery, and how she used the Opus Peace self-help tools to help heal the relationship she had with herself.
