I know that therapy helps me by easing the flashbacks of my sexual assaults when I talk to my therapist about it. Talking about it in therapy makes it less difficult to deal with and it’s better than trying to repress everything and causing harm to your mental state of mind.
I once commented on a Facebook page for mental health and trauma’s question if religious trauma should be allowed and I said that I thought it was necessary because it’s something I rarely talk about to anyone this type of trauma since it didn’t involve sexual abuse or the Catholic Church and...
“And so it was time to say goodnight.
Goodnight Rock,
Goodnight Stone,
Goodnight stick,
Goodnight another rock,
ugh Goodnight dirt,
Goodnight yet another rock….”

I’ve had bad luck when it comes to religion itself. Every time I attend a church for weekly services, something traumatic or unpleasant and uncomfortable happens to me. The first church was a Lutheran one and a group of boys kept bullying and tormenting me every week in Sunday school. It got to...
What I mean is that I’ve had a few deep conversations with this guy which is something I normally don’t do. It’s like I was supposed to meet him and form some sort of friendship or relationship with him. It’s hard to explain.
I have been talking to one guy on a dating app for the past three weeks and we seem to have a deep connection. I told him about some of my past trauma and he can sort relate to some of it. We’ve talked about meeting in person for a cup of coffee but haven’t set anything up yet.
I would use Meet Up myself but there are no local groups in my areas for the things I’m interested in. So you may or may not find something you could do to meet new people. Just wanted to let you know ahead of time in case the same thing happens to you.
