Today Was A First

[FindingMyself88]

So today was the first time I have ever really talked about what my cousin did to me and how it made me feel.

My T knew that he molested me at 12, but I've never really addressed it. Let's just say it made for a hard session...

Well done for taking that step, its not easy, but its important in the grand scheme of healing. Make sure to do nice things to reward yourself even if its just watching your favourite tv show/ reading a book - take some you time. :)

@FindingMyself88,

Great job! I know that must have been seriously difficult to address. I agree with @Kas_Can_Fly, do something to reward yourself. Do things to take care of yourself, you deserve it. And this almost goes without saying, but I'll say it anyways... I'm so sorry that happened to you, what your cousin did to you. :hug: if you'd like them.

Take care,
D123

That's huge! Did you hear the sound of chains breaking and hitting the floor, the ones around your heart?

Big hugs your way!

Well done.

I wasted years of help cause I kept so much to myself for so long.

That was one huge step you took.

Congratulations!

Again, well done. This is a huge first, and so difficult to do. Congratulations! My good thoughts are with you as you heal, and I hope you can spend some time comforting yourself today.

I think it can be so freeing to let our demons out(I call trauma that). It may not always feel that way but it truly is. Congratulations on being able to finally express yourself. To talk about something which was not your fault, nor your guilt. Kudos to you.

I agree, do something special for yourself. You deserve to be awarded.
