My cousin writes about it to get it out of her system instead of holding it in, as recommended by her therapist.

It helps her a lot.

Maybe it wouldn't work for everyone but it works for her.

If you are able get therapy to work through it, you can't pretend it didn't happen it will resurface in other ways unfortunately. Time and therapy helps.

I think what scarred me the most was the adults not believing me.

I don't think you ever fully heal, just learn how to manage the emotions & triggers.

I was molested 40 years ago. It still causes me problems - PTSD, hard for me to trust anyone. Not sure I ever will heal.

I haven't healed. It's been 16 years since I was first raped and I've never truly healed. So much of my behavior and vices I think are due to it

Time and not making it part of me.
