I'm Scared and Trying to Understand, ?

It is far more likely that you were dissociated than distracted. It is very common especially when symptoms are very high and let's face it, right now you are going through it! You're writing in your diary, you're trying to face your trauma and stop blaming yourself. You're going through a lot of changes right now and dissociation is part of the package.

Just try to be patient with yourself and as you face your traumas you will be better able to cope with them.

Dissociation

2 not,

what happened is usually part of dissociation. read the book, The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse (US book) by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis. there is also a workbook to go with it - the therapist may know of it. tell the therapist and get input from him/her about your behavior.

reading anything and everything I could find bookwise and workbook wise gave me information in order to ask quality questions in therapy.

best of luck,
