It Happened. Now What?

@mytai - found the number for a Canadian rape crisis line - 1-866-863-0511. The website is Link Removed

You can also text #SAFE (#7233)

Okay, so not everything we do in therapy works the first time. That's okay, you are safe and this is the process. I am guessing this is exposure therapy that you are working on? Are you in a safe place (trying to make sure)

 

[mytai]

Thanks @TwoDee2ThreeDee I didn't know that one existed.

 

[Ghostybear73]

Can you call the number mytai? I am so glad that TwoDee2ThreeDee found this. We are all here, picture us standing by your side providing that extra bit of security or rope as I call it

 

[TwoDee2ThreeDee]

Are you in a safe place (trying to make sure)

And anytime, mytai

@Ghostybear73 No I'm not working on exposure therapy. The exact opposite. Not having any contact with my abuser. That didn't happen tonight. I'm not near him now. I don't know how I came into contact with him tonight. I don't remember. I remember "waking up" while it was happening.

 

[Ghostybear73]

Please let me know you are in a safe place as far as your physical environment. I understand your are not in a safe place mentally, but physically??

 

[Ghostybear73]

Are you back at your apartment now? And I'm assuming something bad happened last night so I have to ask, did you go to a doctor?

 

[mytai]

I'm away from my uncle now. I'm not near him. So I guess I'm physically safe right now.

I'm not back at my apartment. I don't go home until tomorrow night. I still have 1 more night here. Nothing bad happened last night, it just happened tonight. No I didn't go to a doctor.

 

[Ghostybear73]

Can you leave there or are you stuck?

 

[mytai]

I can't leave until tomorrow night after Boxing Day dinner.

Does anyone know what's been happening? Is there anyone you can trust?
