I'd recommend the book Healing From Trauma, it gives a good overview of a lot of different kinds of symptoms and what they mean, and she talks a lot about the mind-body connection with regard to trauma. Also, working with a licensed massage therapist that I could speak frankly with about my injuries helped me a lot to deal with certain issues, or you could try physical therapy. There are even videos on youtube that offer tutorials for things like gentle yoga or stretching if that seems like a more reasonable place to start.

With PTSD, what I've learned is that if I keep working through the emotional side and the physical side will follow. Just remember to be patient with yourself... the body works on a different time scale, but with time and effort you can regain ground. Best of luck.

because it lives in the body and is stuck in the brain, literally. i know it's abstract but it's been scientifically studied for decades now (thankfully). it's like an injury to our nervous system. i highly recommend reading the body keeps the score:

I am so sorry this happened to you. That was not okay in any way, not ever. I am angry for you. You were absolutely raped by the boy—you said no, he ignored it, that is not consent by any stretch of the imagination. It sounds like you disassociated which is very common in sexual abuse survivors. I believe you. I hear you. You are not crazy or wrong or any thing that anyone wants to gaslight you about. Though it’s hard to know for sure, the counsellors may have been grooming him and engaging in the more emotional version of sexual abuse. While this does not in any way deny what happened to you, if he was learning those behaviours from the counsellors he may have been repeating them with you, which is the vicious cycle of sex abuse; if is horrific and sad and I wish for it to end. It is awful. What happened to you is awful! Your anger is a good thing; your boundaries were violated, you were violated, you said no. You have every right to be outraged. This anger will help you reclaim your power in your journey toward healing. I see you, and you are not alone. You’re allowed to be here; you exist.

I’d recommend finding an EMDR therapist who specialises in trauma. It was the only thing that helped me heal. Also read the book The Body Keeps The Score and The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse ; they changed my life.
