Perhaps writing it down.....a reality vs. your thinking list might help.

In other words:
1. Reality: What happened to me was NOT my fault; it was the abuser's choice. I am NOT responsible for someone else's behavior. I was a child.

2. Your thinking (I think): It was my fault.

3. I was NOT overreacting; I was reacting as anyone would at being abused.

4. I was overreacting.

5. It WAS significant; anytime someone abuses you it is always significant.

6. Maybe it wasn't that significant

Read it over and over and over; until you feel able to re-program your mind; you were brainwashed to believe that wrong thinking; now you have to de-program the false thoughts. I hope this helps. Hugs
Thanks for this!
