Sexual assault is a horrific crime at any age. However, a 5-year-old will almost inevitably respond differently than an adult. It becomes a formative trauma.<\/p>\n<p>It is extremely normal for people to find various coping mechanisms to process trauma throughout their lives. Sometimes, they take the form of simple behaviors like food, exercise, and sex. They can take the form of (actual) addictions like alcohol, nicotine, opiates, and more. Long-term processing of trauma can also manifest as self-destructive behaviors (such as, for example, creating a Tinder profile when you\u2019re a happily married man).<\/p>\n<p>We are, of course, devastated for what Whitney Leavitt\u2019s husband suffered. One can only hope that he has been able to process the evil that he experienced through counseling. In that way, perhaps the Tinder scandal was exactly the wake-up call that he needed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/2024\/08\/whitney-leavitt-husband-tinder-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whitney Leavitt and her husband have had infidelity issues \u2014 even beyond the MomTok scandal.
