Jlarissadragon,
I guess it wasnt my fault completely I shouldnt have been where I was when I was, I consented at first but got scared and it hurt like a mother!! I dont think a man can ever love me Im damaged goods, I fear that once they find out about my past they'll run for the hills and I dont blame them shoot I'd run too.... I havent really even told my mom who happens to be my best friend how many guys Ive been with she'd be so disappointed in me and wouldnt look at me the same well thats what I fear the most... and Im afraid my BBF would think of me as a huge slut and find me dirty...
Besides the fact that what happened to you was not your fault (your placing yourself where you were is not fault enough), what happened to you is statistically common, so it is really unlikely that you personally will be singled out as "damaged goods".

Since you worry so much, I would suggest opening up to the therapist first, before mom, BFF, male partners, potential male partners, etc., because, as you pointed out correctly, therapists are not trained to judge you, not at all.
