Is it normal to have just plain old PAIN as you are recovering memories of CSA? It's not an emotion - not one I know how to label anyway. It's just PAIN. Sometimes it's everywhere. Sometimes it's concentrated in one area. I guess it's "emotional" rather than physical technically, but usually when people say emotional pain they are describing some actual emotion in a vague way... and I do not know what emotion this would be.
It's like if my physical body could yell, it would feel like this. It's not anger, not fear, kind of feels like the sharp pain of shame but not really. I know what shame feels like and this isn't that.
Just wondering is this a normal experience? Or could I be somehow misinterpreting what I am feeling? Thanks.
