For example,the SA I went through for many years was not as bad as the way it made me feel about myself and working through those feelings was harder than working through the things that were done to me.

Can't really respond since my history was more neglect than abuse. But I think it could go either way, I can see where the self punishment, guilt, shame would be harder to deal with than the act itself. Though each person may see that differently. I think you are an awesome job at identifying issues and making a plan to address them in a positive way.
