Shame about abuse

Now that others have gone public and are talking about sexual abuse, it is easier to tell people. I think that's one of the hardest issue to deal with. Since I still don't like to tell anyone, I must have some leftover shame. That's true. Shame doesn't go away. My goal is to think about shame and get past it. In therapy I notice that I rarely bring up aspects of my abuse. I wonder if that is more shame? Or is it just too hard to talk about what happened?

I am not getting over my past like I should.

I feel like something is missing. It's like knowing deep inside the traumatic past is still alive and giving me symptoms. These symptoms remind me of the abuse at times or come out of nowhere. I have been having bad dreams again which are usually about a helpless kid or a suffering, neglected kid.
