Sexual abuse

[Dunek]

I was sexually abused infant through early teens, molested in a skating rink, groped by a friend's father, stranger rape, sexually assualted by a member of my community . . .

I have been so lucky to have good support from counselors, psychiatrists and I am in a medical study in which I receive esketamine which is doing what my meds didn't

of course, I am very close to God and count on his help

I was tickled so much that I would pee my pants - later get spanked (seemingly forever) and then awhile later my dad wou...

Me too- if I didn't perform he told me I would burn in hell and I wasn't his favorite princess anymore

I am so sorry you guys have went through this. I was sexually abused as a child too. More in covert ways, like inappropriate bathing, no privacy, some fondling, etc. Up until age 17 when I was removed from the house.

I hope you all are finding some healing. I haven't started EMDR, but will eventually. I wish you all good vibes.

I'm doing EMDR now-not easy

I have heard this, and my T doesn't think I am ready for it yet. We are doing quick trauma timelines right now. He is teaching me to check in with my body rather than dissociate. I have heard that EMDR can be very emotional. My T has me in DBT group to learn to cope with emotions first.

I have tried EMDR but don't think I can continue right now - now strong enough to deal yet. We focused on positive memories - safety first which was really good then started to process some but not sure I can go to my full history yet- T thinks I am a good candidate but needs to be my choice.

Anyone sexually abused by your parents? How old were you?

Yep, 6 - 11yrs old

 

[Ulasi]

Yes. 2 - 11

 

[Ebaj]

abused by older brother 7-14.
Have completed emdr and yes it was very difficult at times and dissociated a lot in session so worked on safety and grounding and then when using emdr only did in small manageable chunks. Really helped me and reduced flashbacks, panic attacks and nightmares. Tough, hard work and exhausting at times but worth it.

 

[Abado]

Yes by my father from ages 2 to 10 or longer. Don't have memories for anything beyond 10 years old.

I haven't done EMDR. Talk therapy.
