It Was Him, Not Me Monique Peterkin

As a childhood survivor of prolonged sexual abuse and rape, I spent many years blaming myself for the abuse I suffered. I believe that I was somehow responsible for being targeted by my abuser, and I deserved what he did to me. I relived my trauma even after it was over, and I felt alone, depressed, and hollow. I wanted to move on with my life. Like me, you may have or still find it difficult not to blame yourself for the traumatic experiences you endured as a child and live the life you deserve. In It Was Him, Not Me, I explain the different techniques I implement in my daily life that helped me place the blame at my abuser's feet and live beyond the sexual trauma that I experienced as a child.
