Throwaway account.
Been together with my SO for 2.5 years. Recently she opened up to me over having a tough time telling her parents she was uncomfortable having a male doctor due to a previous traumatic experience in her life.

I do not know exact details of what went down and I am hesitant to prod too much at this point, but the gist of what I know is she had a sick sick man for a teacher in elementary (aged 12/13) who was inappropriate and obsessive towards her and definitely one more of her classmates.

 I think I might be the first person she has ever opened up to about this- I feel I am completely out of my depth; i've tried gently suggesting to her that she begin to try and speak to someone about what happened, to which she is extremely apprehensive (with reason). I'm here to ask if anybody have any experience or advice they can share with me on this matter? I am feeling lost with regards to how to go about supporting her as I have never experienced something so heavy in my life.anything helps!
<bot>: SO[F,22] had a disgusting, abusive man for a teacher in elementary school. Hasn't told anybody about the trauma she experienced(as far as I know). I need advice on how to go about supporting her
