The very first poster said I might be over thinking it all. I felt I needed to start this thread because I have watched and read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, which entirely has so-called experts on the law of attraction that are basically trying to help people put the ideas into practice. I...

I don't. Not anymore. I can't even laugh at the simpsons. I sometimes feel like laughing at others when it isn't appropriate to laugh. I think it's called shauden fraude :notworthy: . It's really weird as I've never actually laughed out loud at others and I know it's wrong?? But it's there...

I only joined that forum today. I saw your thread and we have a very similar question about metaphysics/the law of attraction. It seems from Tarot's post that appreciation is a massive thing and is basically what gives you true power in life. I find it very difficult to find something to be...

It feels like I'm not a part of the grand world that everybody seems to live in all together. Sometimes it's like I've got no purpose and I'm here on earth by accident with many others who are also here by accident. It's a sense of complete separation.

Their mostly seen as the same thing as each-other. There's loads on the web about it. It's very in at the moment. This is what I understand it to be:- It's supposedly a universal law that states like attracts like. Doesn't matter if your good or bad, it applies to everyone. If you are...

Yes, I agree it should be an additional charge - a charge of physical assault - in addition to the sexual assault itself. Just not incorporated into the sexual assault. Because sexual assault is sexual assault and physical assault is physical assault. Said victim endured 2 separate crimes...

I think I joined here because I (still) feel too guilty/ashamed/scared to join a support group in "real-life" plus I doubt that there's many in my area on this particular issue. It means a lot to me that so many people "know what it's like."

I can't help but feel like I'm pulling down others - and keeping them down - just because I am not very healed. My healing would most certainly have a positive knock on effect to those around me. I feel like everything going wrong around me in others is my fault in some weird subconscious...

I find the law of attraction very interesting... BUT the experts in it say that whatever has happened in your life - good and bad - you have attracted it to yourself. So I don't get it... ...are these experts saying that it's a child's own fault if they get abused by anyone? Or that it is a...

The first therapist might have thought that Joe would go absolutely berserk on Bob and get into a lot of trouble if he knew the truth about him. And maybe he still wonders what it is that he was helping you through before and still wants to know what it was? I think you should tell him. I...

No, I don't don't think they should be punished harsher. I have considered whether or not that situation your speaking of is "the worst kind of sexual abuse" and I now feel it minimizes victims experiences. I think sexual abuse/assault/rape/child porn/moelstation should all receive the same...

You are so brave saying all of this, I too "enjoyed" being abused... well my body did. This is the number one reason why I kept it a secret for so long. But me being separate from my body, giggled as it happened as a kind of defense in case he got rough or something... or just from plain...

People I know: I realize it's totally unrealistic to expect you to be smiling, engaging and full of energy whenever I see you. Mum: I should never have hit you, you were a beautiful little girl. I should have played games with you and listened to you whenever you told me about your day instead...

Thank you for sharing your story. And I wish you well.

When I do fantasize about men they are always white (my abuser was a white male - I'm mixed, black Caribbean & Irish) and I feel like I want a white man but I feel so, so ashamed about it. I link wanting one to the abuse and I can only speak for myself and not anyone else that feels they want a...

I'm really sorry someone said that to you. I didn't think anyone could/would say something like that to someone. I couldn't handle hearing that. You must be very strong.

She just left, boy is she tall now! I feel proud of her. Although I feel sensitive when children get bossy because it makes me feel sad :help: lol It got like that quite a bit, it must be tough to have kids!

I found the porn with male and females boring lol... and I think a lot of my "attraction" to women is just jealousy & envy really... I know on a true deeper level that I love men. I fantasize about them "properly" (and sexually) and most importantly I fancy them in real life. I don't think any...

This is an embarrassing and shameful post for me and an "issue" that makes me not want to have children. This is interesting as I think about something similar from time to time... my older brother (by 5 years - I'm 27 now) pretend peed on me when I was 2 or 3 or 4... but it was definitely one...

Hi, I think I have something similar... I have icthing all the time on the inner vulva and I read that it is because the urine has sugar in it that the normal bacteria from the vagina like to eat... I'm no too sure though. I was concerned about type 2 diabetes I have nearly all the symptoms...

A woman can't rape a man. A woman can't rape a woman. A woman can't rape a child. I'm not proud of this but I believed the first one and as a teenager even made jokes loud and proud on the street to friends about raping a male celebrity I had a crush on at the time. My friend would reply...

The problem with negative fantasies is that they continue the pattern of abuse. The sexual abuse survivor continues the abuse where the abusers left off. So, even though the sexual abuse survivor might succeed in achieving an orgasm by using negative fantasies, the aftermath of the orgasm is...

I think it's a way of coping with the horror, please don't feel bad it's like when people make fun out of serious things like murder, suicide, serial killers, cannibalism etc rape is something that absolutely terrifies people if you don't make light of it, it can feel "too real" and the...

If you weren't penetrated it wasn't abuse. I believed all through childhood that because I wasn't raped that the abuse was just a normal but "dream-like" experience that I couldn't quite make sense of but I felt incredibly guilty about the enjoyment of it.

Children can't sexually abuse a child - but I was abused by a teenager when I was 3.
