Childhood Can You Really Heal From Childhood Abuses?

[The Albatross]

There is a gap Anthony between rational and instinctual/reactive/thought/trigger/feeling. I respect that gap. It is there for a reason. It is part of "me" and rears up when/whether I want it to at times or not. Unconditional self acceptance.

Thank you for the validation.

Has anyone fully healed from prolonged sexual and physical abuse as a child. I know I haven't and I kn...

Unfortunately I do not believe one ever recovers; I am 46 and continually find myself lost in pain and anger. I will be fine for while then for reasons I have yet to grasp I find myself crying or just going into to these rages. Such strong anger that I cannot contain; I worry I will hurt myself or someone else one of these days, without intention for the rage is just so overwhelming

V happy to say I no longer flinch or jump or pull away when friends hug or kiss on the cheek I used to positively grimace so that is defo an improvement!

Am abpylut yo start emdr, really don't know what to expect or if ill be able to do it.

I suspect I will always have problems with social anxiety and emotional flashbacks :(
