Another tool you can use to what's already been mentioned is, to shift your mind set, from thinking you're a victim to a survivor. I'll use myself as an example although my own experience is probably less traumatic than yours or abuse victims. Before I had my girls 2 men broke into my house while I was home. We came face to face with each other. Luckily for me I somehow appeared confident and they opted to leave. Afterwards I was extremely shaken up and looking back I suffered from some PTSD for a good 6 months after. At the moment I realized these men broke in, I made the choice not to appear weak and that's what saved me.

After I kept thinking of myself as a 'victim' of crime and attended some victim of crime support groups. Every time someone was at the door or I heard a noise I would panic. As I shared my story in the groups, people seemed impressed I managed to deter 2 men, while I was in my underwear lol. All those months, I kept thinking of what ifs - what if they hurt me or worse. Then I had a light bulb moment - I was actually successful and brave for standing up to them. That's when I decided I wasn't a victim but a fighter and survivor. So the moral of the story is - you can shift your mind to survivor too - you survived this trauma and you don't want to be branded by this all your life. Best of luck in healing.
