Childhood My Therapist Believes Me!

[Copper Princess]

Ever since my Mom told me it was ok for cousin to touch me and make me touch him I have struggled. She said it was childhood experimenting. It happened for a few years. Anyway...I have not talked to anyone about until I started therapy. I asked my therapist if she believes me and she said yes. I felt relief knowing she believes me! This may sound weird to some but I was shocked. She thanked me for trusting her. It is so hard to talk about this and I am glad she believes me.

i know what you mean, i too recently told my T for the first time - i felt conflicted as like you the perpatrator was a similar age to me. For years i wondered if it was just experimentation too - but it didnt FEEL like experimentation and its plagued me ever since. My T too thanked me for telling her, and it felt amazing to hear "this explains a lot about your problems over the years". Things are still hard, life isnt easy- but its great to have said it to someone finally
