This is our dilemma right now. Remy holds the memories of the abuse, and obviously the emotions, so essentially it happened to her. Most of the rest can discuss it without really being affected, since it didn't happen to them (if that makes sense). However, all they really know is the very basics: that it happened, who did it, how old, that kind of thing. The only person who really knows everything is Remy...but she's not stable enough to handle reliving it. We've discovered that Raegan is co-conscious of the others when she's out, so we're pretty sure she has access to the memories, though, like I said, it didn't happen to her so it wouldn't trigger her or cause flashbacks or anything. My problem is mostly ethical: is it "right" to have an 8 year old talk about CSA??

This is the only way (so far) that we've thought of to talk about the abuse. And because our T is a PTSD specialist who deals with minors, most of her clients are kids; I think she'd really be able to help Raegan deal with it if it started to overwhelm her.

Let me know what you think. Obviously we want help for the abuse, but we don't want to push Raegan into anything she's not emotionally capable of...we're quite torn .
