Just keep focused on literal facts. They're cuts/wounds, a kind of falling and scraping of one's knee as a kid learning to ride a bike sort of thing. They were helpful to you at the time you did them and they don't "hurt" your overall health/body much, just your pride! You'll get the hang of balance/riding the bike/dealing with the problems your abuser so kindly fostered in you and then you'll be free to ride like the wind and forge ahead in life!
