The pain follows us even as we become adults. It feels the same as it did when it first happened. You don't just "get over it". It becomes a part of who you are and hopefully you can take that pain and turn it into compassion and understanding for others.

I have not had counseling, but I imagine it would be beneficial to my own sense of self worth. I would listen to those that have done so.
