In reply to Sexual Abuse / Rape, posted by Angel Girl on September 24, 2007, at 19:12:28
Hi Angel Girl,
I am trying to face this issue in therapy and am having a real hard time trying to talk about it.
You wrote: It won't go away, it still happened. Talking can't erase that.
I agree with you, it happened and it will always be there. What my therapist says talking will help is for me to stop blaming and hating myself for what happened to me. That's why I am going to try to write it down, a little bit anyway, and reserve the right to say I can't do this and try to bury it again.
My therapist is not a psychologist, she's a clinical social worker, and works on a sliding pay scale which helps when the insurance runs out. She asked me point blank after a few sessions if I was sexually abused. I denied it. She never believed my denial. I still want to deny it, but at this point I can't. I need to try to deal with it.
