Sexual Assault Violated

[InvisibleSun]

Your post really hit home, @nothere because I too went through something similar with a doctor when I was a little girl. I feel your pain all too well..
I wish I could answer all your questions, but I don't think answers are what you are looking for anyway. I guess I just want you to know that you are not alone. Welcome to the forum..

Many doctors are human trash with a God complex.

Many doctors are human trash with a God complex.

........... and especially in the mental health profession if you want to call it that!

I thought I was the only one. One of my abuse incidents involves a doctor - a highly trained specialist! - that I was referred to.

I've found people work on invisibility. They make their actions invisible. Abusers, bullies, they thrive in this environment Make things transparent and they have nowhere to hide.

That said, when I finally opened up about my abuse - the major incident - the person I turned to was my family doctor. Brilliant man. They're not all bad. He restored my faith in so many things.

No truer words spoken. Name the opportunistic predators. This is an absolute and they will think twice before hurting you ever again.
Problem with mental health providers is all the unlicensed therapist, untrained social workers, and all the rest of the ill adjusted people unable to find employment aside from counseling.

Thanks Tom. It took me a long time to figure this out and the hard way.

......... same here. Wish someone had explained this to me in the beginning so I could have gained understanding of this principle much sooner. And you are quite welcome as well. A lot of good advice posted and I just hope the writer here is able to use it.

I'm taking in everything you all say, but I'm still confused about a lot of things. It's so hard for me trust people, people I know are on my side and support me, but one little message I misinterpret snowballs. The worst part is, I'm learning these lessons the hard way. My progress really does feel like 2 steps forward, 1.5 steps back. I'm happy to say that I feel like I've made progress. It may be small, but it's oftentimes the little things that make all the difference. :)

@nothere I'm with you on the trust point. And the snowballs. Especially the trust point. Don't ever discount your progress - it all counts every tiny little bit. Even if you take 2 steps forward and go 1.5 back you are still 0.5 ahead of yourself before and that is a big deal. Hugs to you.

@Tom S. in Tn. I'm happy you liked my post. I think it was one of those things I only realised myself as I typed it out. I wish somebody had laid this out to me sooner too. Hope you're doing good man.

I don't have any experiences such as yours, but my heart goes out to you and the others who have been through similar experiences.

It's so disheartening to know people who go through medical practice and gain the trust of patients, who often already have fears of doctors, would do this. I am so, so sorry this happened to you. I wholeheartedly hope you are able to find relief throughout the process and I am glad you are finally able to open up about it.

I can't even begin to imagine what this must be like. Sending you well wishes and I do hope you can find some peace in your mind.

........... and hugs to both of you also.
Presently doing good here and problems in our neighborhood seem to finally be addressed because I never quit shouting about them, despite how threateningly terrifying it got or how mentally ill the perps wanted to make me appear. And Thanx for asking not Spiderman.
I'll turn it back over to Nothere now because there is a lot to be gained from this message discussion. I'm gaining as well.
I'll pray this works out Nothere and you can melt the snowballs down to size; Tom S. in Tn.
