Look here: This a non-profit credible organization that helps with victims of sexual traumas. http://www.rainn.org/get-help i recommend that you look there or ask around to find a psychologist or therapist who works with childhood sexual abuse. You can also locate a psychologist near you here: locator.Apa.Org/ i'm glad you are open to seeking help.

The process : The process of recovery from sexual abuse is slow, but you can do it. Find a therapist who specializes in abuse. It will take time to trust anyone, but they will help you. The book the courage to heal can help too. When you are ready, a support group for survivors will help as well. Basically, you were hurt by the experiences, but your are not to blame and deserve to have a whole fulfilling life.

Early Trauma: Being molested as a child can influence many levels of development-cognitive, emotional, social, relational. We know that memories and patterns of responding are stored not only in our thoughts and our bodies, but in our brains. The good news is that Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Mindfulness Meditation in the context of a trauma specialist can help.
