This paper is developed from a presentation made by Anastasia at the 4^th Pan-Hellenic Interdisciplinary Conference, Child Abuse and Trauma,  Athens, Greece, 2008, organised by the Greek Society for the Prevention of Sexual Abuse.

Anastasi draws on her work as Dance Therapist for the last 5 years, to write about the priceless contribution of the body in the therapeutic process. Drawing on various theorists in the trauma recovery and psychotherapy fields, she focuses on the issue of guilt and the distortion that it brings to the perception of reality, specifically for the woman who has suffered abuse in her childhood. (pp 34-37)
