The difference actually depends on what the outcome you are trying to achieve out of it.
If all you want is to feel sorry for yourself and, then going over the pain might end up just as a pointless rumination.
If however, you are trying towards healing, and trying to make peace with it, or trying to understand what happened and why you felt the way you did, going over the pain might lead to useful knowledge and healing.
I think you haven't used this board as much as you could have to work out your issues with the sexual assault in your past. Perhaps for other issues also.
Maybe trying to write here will be a good way of going over the pain in a very constructive way.
