Agreed, a therapist who is trained to handle these kinda things would be a good idea. They can give you coping skills for reliving that nightmare. They can also guide you with the words and prepare you for the different outcomes that telling others may have.

I told my sister something similar and it was not good. I wish I would not have said anything. Had I talked to the T first I could have maybe avoid hurt feelings. It did help to have the T to fall back on and help me threw my sisters harsh words.

Good luck with what ever you decide.
