She says cases like mine are especially hard because it is difficult to diagnose it and blame when the other party is well intentioned. She says that I is why I have all the anger and hurt and hatred turned towards my own body.

> Courage to heal is one choice. If I don't want to read this book, are there any other ways?I think one possibility is to (gently) suspend your disbelief and read a few things online. If you focus on the effects that you are living with now rather than on the substance of the abuse it might be more helpful to you at the moment. In other words, look at your symptoms and how people with experience of csa deal with them, without necessarily feeling you have to put any labels on yourself.
