Thanks, it was "The Eli "Stones" paper had child rape in it, it graphically describes the rape of a girl by her father. At one point they describe how he ripped into her flesh, describing horrific violence and brutality. I personally was so triggered by this I spent two hours literally frozen in flashbacks before needing to spend a further two hours on the phone with my therapist. There was absolutely no warning that rape was going to be involved in this, let alone child rape. I can not even begin to express how disturbing this was for me. I am sure even NT students are having this sprung on them.

If I had known there was going to be child rape discussed in this course, I would have dropped it day 1. As it is, the "Touches on child abuse" would cover her initial descriptions of her father hitting her, and nothing more. This was far more than "Touching" on anything, and with the fact that roughly 1/8th of the females in school having suffered a molestation or rape, material that covers rape as a topic needs to be clearly marked for our own self care.

This was sprung on me, and honestly, if you had warned about the CHILD RAPE I would have known to ask for an alternative paper or accommodation, if not dropped the course altogether."

Which, I thought was good considering at the time I was still shaking.
