Thank you everyone so much for responding. The above statement really resonated with me. I have just been so good at pushing the trauma away, and I don't know how else to process it. I don't know what that even means really - I've done the Rape Recovery Handbook, talked to my therapist a...

I was sexually assaulted. I was terrified for my safety and it was traumatic without doubt. But, now I find myself in a place of wanting to be raped. I don't mean this in the sexual fantasy way of wanting to be dominated but being in control of my thoughts. I mean it quite literally. Ever...

It's definitely a connection thing for me, too. mrsps, I was also embarrassed to mention it, but it became an elephant in the room that only I could see! It was more uncomfortable to not tell her. I was to curious what she would think of me and how she would react. So, I started telling her...

I do this, too. My T is private, but I still found some of her facebook page, her wedding announcement, her parents' obituaries, her sister's info, info about her dead brother, an article about her dad's death, and even her home address including photos, the sale price, taxes, HOA fees, etc...

I understand your struggle. Please stop and think back to the last time you went into treatment, or the first time you were diagnosed with an ED. You probably didn't have those lucid moments of wanting to fight it, or they weren't so strong. Each time you struggle, please remember that you...

What steps have you taken to heal from depression? I want to actively fight this state of depression and loneliness (from lacking my voice and thus lacking the capacity to connect), and I do get myself out and moving, but nothing seems to lift this dark cloud. Any ideas?

So, I'm healing from a sexual assault and have a few questions. If you have input on any or all, I'd appreciate hearing from your experience: (1) What does the healing process entail? What kinds of steps do you take? (2) Do you need to verbally tell your T your story or is writing it enough...

Congrats on getting out again. I know how hard it is. I had a sexual assault and started dating this guy only six months later, and it was way too soon. Basically, I freaked when the relationship got physical - everything from a touch he initiated to an attempt at sex (I was a virgin when...

Her treatment of this situation is entirely dismissive. I have a T who is very unreliable, too. Sometimes, the unreliability is understandable - like family issues in her way - but other times it is a clear lack of work ethic honestly. I appreciate that she can care for her needs, but when it...

I'm kind of in your situation. I had a sexual assault that "wasn't that bad" (a minimization, because if it impacted me, it obviously was that bad no matter what literally happened). Now, I feel the assault happening a lot. It's embarrassing because it is sometimes just feeling his grip...

If my T doesn't have much experience dealing with sexual assaults, do I need to see another T, too. I see her for an ED and general life things and she is great, but I feel like, when it comes to the assault, we talk about processing it but we never do anything to process it. It's like she...
