Answer
If you went through sexual abuse as a child, it is very recommended that you seek therapy.
You need to work on this traumatic experience. Especially if you are aware of its impact on your life and sexuality.
During the healing process, you might be able to reframe what happened to you so it no longer feels like an active, unresolved part of you.
Turn to Allah and ask for His help during this healing journey. Know that He loves you and that it is not your fault that you were molested as a child.
