What’s the best way to deal psychologically with the trauma from being strip searched?

Asked by SeaOtter (119points) March 18th, 2018 from iPhone

I was detained for eight hours in a police station in Ireland last week and unfortunately had to be strip searched. Although I wasn’t charged with anything I do understand why it was necessary and they were as respectful as possible but I feel really bad about it. It’s not something people like to dicuss because it’s taboo like sexual assault used to be but lots of people must have felt the same and I’d genuinely like to know how best to deal with it psychologically.
