You can’t teach survivors that their body is their own while defining what recovery is for them.
That means:
-you don’t decide that recovery includes having sex again
-you don’t decide recovery means therapy
-you don’t decide whether recovery means letting people touch them again
-you don’t decide recovery means being able to cope with triggers instead of avoiding them
-you don’t decide that recovery includes stopping or starting ANY behaviours unless THEY say so
Or you are NOT giving them autonomy.
