The document suggests that a victim of sexual abuse is damaging themselves by being bitter about what happened.
It also seems to imply the victim should be feeling guilt about what happened. The reasons for this guilt may be disobedience or not reporting it, it states.
In addition, the document references that there is a potential for moral vaccination.
That term is described in an article by Recovering Grace:
Moral vaccination seems to reference a concept Gothard shared in seminars and conferences in the 1980s, when he told the story of a woman who struggled with unwanted sexual thoughts and eventually was raped. In the anecdote, Gothard described the rape and the womans subsequent aversion to sexuality as inoculation against lust.
