I can tell you that it's normal to feel overwhelmed. If you want to work through the CSA, it's gonna be hard, but you can do it. It will feel extremely overwhelming at first and things will probably get worse before it gets better, but after it gets better, it will get much, much better. It's worth it! Hang in there.

The jewel can be brought out into the light at any time, and it will glow as brilliantly as if nothing had ever happened. No matter how committed we are to unkindness, selfishness, or greed, the genuine heart of bodhichitta cannot be lost. It is here in all that lives, never marred and completely whole."
