[Andrea 77]

Hi my name is Andrea I'm new to this group i just came across it.
I'm 48 I was abused as a child by my step dad then last year when he died my daughter also told me she was abused by him as a child and also my neice. So my stored memory of the abuse resurface tenfold and I hit rock bottom with guilt shame anger and every other emotions you can think of it was like pandora box opening and all my memories have jumped out at the same time and my brain can't process them. I'm awaiting EMDR therapy for my ptsd any way that's me in a nutshell. I hope to here from you all.

Welcome. I did my first EMDR session this week. Interesting stuff, of course we are just beginning but I am excited about it. In regards to healing I just dive in. I wish you success on your journey/adventure.

Welcome to the Forum! I am sorry for the reasons you are in need of support, and hope you are as blessed by the people here as I have been.

I also deal with CSA and it’s taken a lifetime to make the progress I have made. EMDR can be a lifeline to healing and I highly recommend it. I am about to use it to get into my childhood trauma this time.

It really helped me deal with the death of my little girl…and I have high hopes of healing further.

Welcome again!
