Thank you for sharing something so personal and congratulations for turning to creativity to get out those festering emotions. I was attacked (beaten and choked only) by a masked man when I was in college. I fainted the first time I saw my face after the attack; your painting reminded me of it, but without much charge. I also experienced childhood sex abuse. What happened to you happened, but it won't be the totality of your life if you keep on working through it. I believe that, in healing from trauma, the only way out is through. Good luck on your journey. You survived so that you can live. Be as gentle with yourself as you would be for a friend.
