Hi There,

 

Well this is a tough one, I too am a survivor of Sexual abuse and have not received councelling yet,(tho it is in my future plans). I can tell you though that she won't heal from not dealing with it, and not bringning up the past to some degree. If you try to ignore it or pretend it never happened it just comes back later with a vengeance. I have the book " The Courage to Heal" And although it is very triggering at parts and hard to get through, has helped me alot also, to understand and to identify with alot in the book. It is not a cure though, and like in the very least, your friend needs to talk to someone, and get it out, even if just to a friend. Good luck!
