I thought I was alone but there were thousands of us…
During my stay in Saint-Anne des Monts, a centre for addictions, the CALACS allowed me to understand that sexual assaults had an impact on my life. I had checked in NB and the only place I could get help was in Fredericton, in English. When I returned, I received services in my area, but they didn’t meet my needs. I needed someone who specialized in sexual assault. Escale MadaVic referred me to the Edmundston resource centre for victims of sexual violence.
Currently, I have a follow-up at Éclipse, as I experience different things, I talk to my case worker, we explore the situation and I always end up identifying the problem. She guides me on my journey and healing. I am discovering myself and, more importantly, finding myself. I just want to protect the little girl in me who was hurt, broken and betrayed and I want to give myself a chance to heal from the 45 years I spent punishing myself because of all the feelings of shame guilt, fear and anxiety I experienced through all these years.
I realized in therapy that it’s not my cross to bear. What I like is that I feel listened to, understood and respected. Finally, there is someone who can help me understand what I have experienced and allows me to identify my feelings.
