I was sexually abused by a family member as a minor. I want to go to therapy to understand and to cope with the trauma I suffered.

I’m afraid that the therapist will contact the police and they will make an investigation of it. I’m afraid of what that will do to my immediate family. I don’t want to completely uproot what happened to me and have to deal with it being brought up or going public/my whole family to find out... I just want to get help because I have developed anxiety after I remembered and came to the knowledge of what happened to me not being right.

I want to know if anyone has gone to therapy and spoken about their sexual abuse and what happened after...

Can you help me with this please... thanks
