No it is not. It is an explanation of the traumatic, complicated feelings wrapped up with the event. Do not conflate the feelings of guilt afterward with the solution of empowerment.

As someone who has been through much, much worse, and a whole lot of therapy to recover from it, I assure you, this is in no way ‘victim blaming’. Victim blaming is saying we brought it on ourselves. Failure to resist the moment (a fact of the situation described) is part of the guilt feelings afterward, like it or not.

Not being able to truly isolate the part of the situation that instigates parts of the feelings and how to recover (guilt/empowerment) from them is what continues to allow victimhood from the situation and from others in the future.
