Thank you! I’m finding my way around. It’s a hard week this week.

Thank you all. I went there yesterday and it’s true he wasn’t mad but I was so terrified and then it was ok. And he helped me breathe and get ready for court and it helped a lot and he said all my feelings are normal. So I think it’s true it is ok. I was glad he tried to get me to go even though...

I dont know what to say here. I'm pretty new. I'm upset over things from childhood but not sure if it was abuse. also experienced dv and some other things that I think were assault but I dont know.

I wrote him. He always says its ok to email. I email a lot, but dont expect responses. He emailed me saying sounds like I am having a hard time. he said try to focus on everything I have to do. I have court this week, and work, and family trip with triggering family, and lots more need to do...

Thank you. This helps me a lot!

got very scared in therapy and shaking and couldn't talk, and then he had to walk me out, and I emailed scared, he told me to email when I get home. I did, but now sure he is angry at me. I had dreams his office is scary, with ropes, but they are not there. I told him in email about the dream...

Thank you. Very helpful even if I am so confused and such a terrible wreck.

When my therapist tells me something that I’m struggling to believe I can’t remember him telling me. (He has told me twice that children aren’t to blame for CSA)... Both times I remember trying to really listen and pay attention so I would be able to think about it later but then later I...

Thank you. This is all really helpful. I just don’t know why I can’t it feels so confusing.

Thank you both so much. It is hard for me to do as I don’t remember what she looks like at that age and I don’t know how to comfort her. I feel like no one would be safe really if they knew all of what happened and I can’t get past that. How long did it take you to get to where you could do it...

Thank you Skywalker. I just started therapy a couple of months ago. We worked on a safe place and safe person. He asked if I could imagine the safe person comforting a child that age as the first times things happened. Do you think that is trying to help with the wounded child part? I'm not...

Thank you. One of them was a child. One was a teenager. Others were all adults. I was a child. It's confusing. It feels like it was my fault.

How can I know what is the truth? I didn't say no at first, and can't understand if its my fault.

Thank you. I really thought I could figure out what it all is, but I can't. You are probably right MyWillow, that it doesn't matter as much how it's defined. Thanks everyone for helping me figure it out though.

I am just so confused. I don't really know what it is. Nothing seems like it fits. I'm not familiar with emotional flashbacks, but it does kind of feel like what I read about them on that site, which I did read. I guess I had understood panic attacks to be out of no where and not attached to...

That’s true, but I’m so confused about what are flashbacks or emotional memories, etc. I just get these intense visceral feelings and they get me panicky. But they don’t seem like a panic attack per se..

Really? It doesn’t feel like a panic attack though.

I'm new at going to therapy, but have had this same experience with intimacy with people. Basically something makes me start to feel panicky and shaky and then I feel like I can't breathe, and my eyes dart around, but I can't stop them and focus on anything, and I feel overwhelmed, and if it...
