A personal friend of mine from my childhood, just sent me the following. I will share an extract of what she sent. – It describes abuse as a child:
After the first session I didn't know how I would possibly survive it. Forgive me...I am not at all suicidal but there is need for care and perhaps some caution.The most I can possibly say is that the testimony of all the young women in court against the doctor who was to protect and care for them but did great sins against them causing a lifetime of pain and damage. instead..that is my personal story of damage and pain just in a different setting andinvolved family, including some outside of family.
Difficult news for me to be involved in this therapeutic pathway. I have often had to rely on help in this regard and have lost much because of trauma. I am in therapy for things that occurred in my childhood. Please don't be so shocked about my prayer request as follows and I hope it is not inappropriate to ask. I will be in therapy Monday's at 9AM and possibly another time of the week depending on how well I hold up. The therapy is extraordinarily difficult and painful both physically and emotionally and shocking to my thought process. It is frightening for me and the processing of the session does last for days following. I grew up very compromised in many ways by particular people who were damaging to me. I won't go into that as it is very horrific and covers a span of many years.
My friend asked me to post this on Pray.Network. She said I do not know how to say this on Prayer Network but do know I need the prayers of many due to the destructive nature of the damage caused. I WILL PRAISE GOD IN ALL.
I ask for many to pray with my friend as she goes through the therapy. She needs to know the presence of God helping her, and the help of the Holy spirit to forgive.

I pray that the Lord will touch her with His healing....
May God be with you and give strength, courage, complete peace and healing.
Isa 61:1-4 CEV
The Good News of Victory
1 The Spirit of the LORD God
has taken control of Me!
The LORD has chosen and sent Me
to tell the oppressed
the good news,
to heal the brokenhearted,
and to announce freedom
for prisoners and captives.
2 This is the year
when the LORD God
will show kindness to us
and punish our enemies.
The LORD has sent Me
to comfort those who mourn,
3especially in Jerusalem.
He sent me to give them flowers
in place of their sorrow,
olive oil in place of tears,
and joyous praise
in place of broken hearts.
They will be called
“Trees of Justice,”
planted by the LORD
to honor His Name.
4Then they will rebuild cities
that have been in ruins
for many generations.
I am a victim of sexual violation. So I understand and am praying for this dear person. I've gone through therapy and I know the emotional surgical process is very painful but I know my precious Savior is the DIvins Healer. I pray for healing in Jesus'precious name, amen!
