If you were abused please answer this question?

When you saught help to work through your abuse were you able to find quality help? To me quality help is help that isn't just drugging your feelings away, it is finding a therapist or group that helps you work through and resolve the issue around your abuse that cause you problems in daily life, such as flashbacks, hearing the words of your abusers again and again in your mind, fearing relationships, eating disorders and other self destructive behaviors, etc.

If you found a quality therapist or group, what in your opinon made it quality and helpful? What state and county if in the USA did you find this help in?

Did you pay for private therapy or did you have to go to a county mental health center for help?

If you went to a county mental health center; did the help you received help you work through and permanantly resolve issues that were affecting you from the abuse?

Where you drugged and hospitalized without progressing?

What to you is successful therapy?

Please answer this question as it personally applies to you. I want to hear from those who had had acutal personal experience with this issue.

I'm not looking for a therpist myself, I am writing a book & I want as I work to finish it to ask a wider group of people for their experience in this area. I have asked over the years people on buses, at church, anywhere I went such questions. The more people who have experience with this issue I hear from the better.
So far I find that people do have a problem finding quality therapy that helps them work through their abuse in a helpful manner. People who are poor often give up after years of working to get needed help through the public mental health systems, only to find they get a lot of drugs offered them, but little constructive help. So learning & hearing from others throughout the world, re in the US where I live will help me find out if there are consistant problems in finding help,and where the best help has been found.

theanswerman63 was very rude in his answer, but allow me to state that one, I have many learning disabilities, so my book is being edited by a friend. Anyone with any type of dyslexia knows that spelling is an on going problem. Some of the greatest writers can't spell well.
I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A STORY, you do not need to give details of your abuse in order to answer these questions. As for am I really writing a book, yes; I've been told for years to write my life story, because of all I have gone through. I'm praying what I write will help others; I've been told by others what I have shared with them has helped them in their healing. I want to know your opinions so that when I say in my book that I've asked others which abuse has had the most lasting affects upon them and share that answer, which for now is the verbal, I can say that represents having asked to present at least 1000 people; the more who confirm that, the more such knowledge can help others.
