Having survived both things, I have to say being fucked with mentally/emotionally is far worse than getting it physically. I suppose if one was permanently maimed, if could be different, but emotional abuse/mental abuse is pretty horrible. Broken bones heal; bruises fade - but emotional & mental scars are always there; always just a little sensitive to something similar happening again. Either that or the scar tissue becomes so thick that a person is unable to trust or feel again.
So that's what I would say. I have worked with people who have had emotional/mental things done to them decades ago that still affect their daily lives, far more so than any physical pain would affect them.
