The Curious Case Of Validation...

Hi all, ,

This is the first time since my latest recovered memory, that I've posted. I've been delving deep within my psyche as this particular recovered memory I was conscience of it. So I experienced it differently than other times, it was so out of the blue, but the fact that I recognized it is a BIG achievement for me.

It was difficult for my husband as we were about to be intimate, and it was a CSA recovered memory. I knew I triggered. I know the exact moment of it..and I think I felt the build up too... something inside me was saying, this was a bad idea. . Basically I like sex and I'm fascinated on the subject and I like watching the cult classics when it was taboo, ive been to the sex museum in Amsterdam, so anyway thre was a particular movie I saw on stan that I thought would be cool to watch.. um not so cool.

The curiousness of this is the power of Validation. When I triggered and realized that I actually hadn't made it up, it was real and was abusive, it was like a box had been closed. I was validated that my memories are correct and I'm not crazy! ☺☺☺ I am in awe of the power of this. The release, sure its been hard these past 2 weeks with difficulties of my triggering, triggering my husband and dealing with his emotions on top of mine. But I feel like a step has been taken that can't be taken back..

So now I wonder if I can do it again? Will I recognise a trigger as it happens and deal with it,

All the best people.

Killa
