I think you're onto something, Tanya. I'm no counselling expert, but I would have thought that if a sexual abuse survivor could, through therapy, see that their body was more than just a crime scene, and that it could triumph over such trauma by nurturing a life (I mean, it's gone through a pregnancy, and that's got to be confronting to someone who hasn't worked through those issues yet), then BFing as the next step in healing isn't out of the question, is it? Dunno, my mum was abused and she BF us (continues to have these 'modesty' issues, but was able to see her boobs as more than just traitors) - not to say that everyone should be able to get over it, but it IS to say that encouraging BFing in a sexual abuse survivor shouldn't be taboo, it should be used as a tool for recovery and turning around that negative body imagery. Just a thought, and I hope I have not offended anyone in this situation, it is certainly not my intention.
