There is much, much more to recovery from sexual abuse or sexual assult than "just get over it"
and whilst survivors look for structure and a path to recovery ,
it's complex, it takes time - it needs to be gradual.
it needs to be multi disciplinary.
I have found it helpful to build a grid of issues.
often we make progress in one area then find another unresolved issue holds us back.
hence the grid. issues in the grid are not in any particular order.
some links are to external sites or services aussiesurvivors has no control over
We need HOPE - hope in God
or as AA put's it - hope in a higher power.
overcomming our denial
telling our story
