Child Abuse Story of Story of Healing and Recovery From Paul1

by Paul
(United Kingdom)

I was sexually abused by my cousin in my youth (about 7 years old) and so retained certain problems due to this trauma - molestation i.e. fear, worry, panic attacks and anxiety, worry about how to perform sexually became the norm and depression too. I went many years and used to avoid sexual encounters because of fear/aversion, as it developed into a sort of phobic condition for me. Things got so bad I couldn't have sexual relationships because of this problem. Every time I had a sexual encounter, fear, worry and anxiety because of situation used to creep in.

My life became so depressed.

I went to the doctors, which wasn't much help either, as I was referred to a G.U.M (Genito-Urinary Medicine) Clinic, an N.H.S (National Health Services) funded organization (for all aspects of sexual health), and they're pretty useless.

So to put my life back on track I privately paid to see a sex therapist which helped me to deal better with my situation. Cavajet was also used for my erection difficulties and psychological impotence because of the effects of the abuse I suffered.

People can recover from abuse, so you're not alone.

I recommend psychosexual counseling and Cavajet impulse. Don't get fobbed off by doctors, clinics, etc.

Don't Give up.

You can be Saved - Pray for Strength

Thankyou maurice and darlene

Serious Sexual Disorders rarely get any better by themselves so its important people
seek Professional Help for them - they only get worse as time passes and so have far
Reaching consequences.

But it is never too late to seek help

People should Realise too that Doctors do not get any training in Sexual issues at
all so the only way the only Person who would be more knowlegable would be by seeing a
trained Professional like a Therapist.

From Darlene: You're welcome, Paul. And I agree with you. Doctors don't get training on sexual issues, so it is important to seek help with a therapist who deals with such issues.
