Hi everyone, I was sexually abused when I was 12 yrs old, now 40, need to talk. I rember everything as though it was yesterday, it hurts to think about this.
Hi, you've had the courage to come on here and thats a great start - you are a survivor as we all are - it is painful and it will be as you work through it, but you need to get it out and free yourself so you can start living. Find a female therapist if you can't talk to the male ones and be fussy who you pick, its worth trying one or two before you feel you have some chemistry between you and the therapist and that you can trust them. The book 'Courage to Heal' is well worth a look - I'm finding it very helpful - especially the writing exercises - somehow getting it all down on paper diffuses the power it has over you - when its there on the page and not just inside your head! your only 39 I'm 48 and only just started therapy - you still relatively young - you can do it you can rebuild and find peace and happiness in your life. You're a survivor!
