Other steps mentioned are not wise and A is not enough. Unless she agrees or requests immediate contact of parents and friends the counselor has no business contacting them without her permission and the rape trauma needs to be addressed professionally. Although AA's twelve step program could be used to process and heal many disturbances. A rape trauma needs to be addressed with professionals trained on trauma resolution.
