Actually, I totally agree. I didn't read the above statement as pro-therapy or pro-drugs.
As someone who has gone through the suicide of a loved one, I absolutely leaned on my group meetings, my therapist, my suicide survivor messageboards.
Actually, this messageboard is also guidance.
Sexually abused people should NOT go through their memories alone. Nor should people who survive any sort of trauma. I would highly suggest they go to a well-qualified therapist/counselor.
