Are there any resources for someone who was sexually abused?

I'm in a relationship with someone who confided in me that they were sexually abused as a child by their sister and this experience has kept them from having a healthy sexual reltionship with me.

They've never been counseled about this and only now are open to the idea but to see a professional especially at the frequency they want you to go when you first start is much too expensive (around $400 a session) and the health insurance barely covers anything in regards to mental health.

Are there other resources out there I can utilize that will provide trained counseling for this issue specifically that are more affordable?

Usually. It depends on where you live, but almost always there's *something* out there that's cheap/free. Below is a pretty good link to some steps in finding help. If you can just find one support group you can go and ask them about resources.

Ask any open door clinics in the area or state/county mental health facilities.

GL and good for you on being supportive :)
