I think he is trying to get me to the point where I will say what I need and draw my boundries. Boundry issues are big problems for abuse survivors. It is not comfortable for me to say clearly when I need something if I think someone will be mad at me for doing so.

Last night I had another serious flashback about the CSA that rocked my sanity most of the night. But I made it through the night. It was very hard but I did not dissociate or self harm. But I understand now the depth of my SU thoughts all my life as this serious event was when I was about 3 yrs old. The depth of the detail from the flashback make me certain of the contents. I am still in shock about it. But was waking up all night long dealing with the little me from that age wanting to SU. Amazing how a child of only 3 yrs old can want that when things are too much. Very sad. Makes me really want to work even harder for not just self healing - but to somehow make it to where I am strong enough to perhaps help others if there is any way I could.

So today in session should be powerful and interesting. Less about anger and more about truth and movement forward. I have a ton of growth still to go. But one step at a time. Thank you all so much again!!!!!
That is so incredibly painful. One of my kids is almost 3 and I can't imagine the amount of damage it would take for her to consider SU.

I am so sorry for all you endured.

And, on some level, I think it's good that you are feeling the full weight of the pain because there is healing in that. I'm there with you. I just a few weeks ago realized the depth of the damage done to me...and grieving it has been so so so hard but so healing.

Good for you for taking more time to heal. You should not feel pressured to go back to work until you are ready.

Thanks for this!
