Your Body Is Speaking
What was done to you is a crime. That is settled before we move even a single sentence further. A child can never consent. An adult who crosses a child's boundaries bears full responsibility. Nothing shakes that — no psychological model, no spiritual teaching, no perspective in this world.
And yet you carry something with you that cannot be resolved by condemning the act alone. There is a pain that reaches deeper than the event itself. A feeling that may have been there even before the abuse — a sense of not quite being here, of being at the mercy of things, of an emptiness that cannot be filled no matter how much time passes.
