Thanks. I can tell that you have a very empathic sensibility which I can almost feel. I do think that my trauma history and hard work on trauma will be an asset eventually. And I have tried to go over as much as possible before I work with clients that have any related issue.

With this particular issue, though, I think I would be wiser (and more responsible, ethical) to refer out. Even if I work on this issue and get to a reasonably okay place with it, my experience was one of prolonged helplessness in the aftermath for lots of other reasons. It was just messy and probably not typical so I don't think that would be helpful. Plus I think someone in this situation needs a therapist who has a speciality in it or at least a fair amount of experience handling it.
