I would highly recommend finding a therapist who specializes in the treatment of trauma. When someone has experienced a lot of trauma, their central nervous system is constantly activated. It can be difficult to regulate emotions, and they may feel anxious and unsafe much of the time. There are various techniques that a trauma specialist can use to help discharge some of that stored traumatic energy (that lives in the body). Such techniques include EMDR http://www.emdr.com/q&a.htm and Somatic Experiencing http://www.traumahealing.com/registry.html
Good luck. You deserve help and support.

ASK your GP.
I knew someone who must have had a terrible time a long long time ago but some choose not to go through it all again via therapy, and face the pain, in order to sort it all out. If one does choose to go through it all again I think it is very important to if possible be close by to a friend for support throughout the ordeal of facing ones demons. Best to focus on the release and possible freedom from facing the trauma. What about trying yoga, trauma I understand is released through relaxation. A committed yoga discipline each day for a year could pay dividends. I have tried it for 7 months an hour a day and think I may be getting some benefits at last.

you really need to see a therapist about this and unfortunately some are better than others so it may take time [and money ]before you get the right one. Don't give up though.
You need to get this fixed because abused people don't exist in a vacuum .Many of their life choices are based upon the skewed perspective of violated boundary's and paradoxically all too often they choose people who are abusers as mates ;thereby perpetuating the madness.
Know that it's never to late too get help for this . Good luck

Therapy and counseling are the only appropriate measures to take if the person is still having problems. Many people will have adjusted anyway after this length of time. There is no point in dredging up the memories if they are coping and functioning in society at the moment.

Go to a police station and pick up information on Victim Support. Try contacting them.

I was faced with this situation. I decided to look back and find what blessings occurred in my life due to my multiple types of abuses. I always tried to LEARN from them and to turn them into something positive... To grow in spite of these situation. To become a better person. Abuse can causes changes in the abused person... make these changes work for you instead of against you. Learn what NOT to become... use them to learn how to interact with others in a manner that will never cause abusive harm to others... Use the abuse as a learnig tool to make you a better person when you interact with others. You can learn how to be aware of the sensitivity of others. What can cause them hurt to their souls, hearts and bodies. Then you can direct your actions so as not to hurt another's heart, soul or body as you were hurt. That is what I did... and I find that I have become a better person because of what I have experienced in my abusive years... as to how NOT to behave with others. This is using your abuse and turning it into a positive result. By doing this you better yourself... in spite of the abuse. You lift up your nature to a higher level. That is what life is all about... to become better that what we started out as... in spite of all the problems life gave us... Look for what you learned and the wisdom and sensativity you gained. You can use this when you interact with others. When you do this... be proud of yourself, as you have succeeded in life. Good Luck!

you should talk to someone in authority about what had happened, according to the law there might be statues of limitations for something along time ago
