I had a very abusive childhood, physically, emotionally, neglect, no love, no nothing, I didn't matter to anyone.
I have been in therapy since this Jan. because I was suffering from PTSD because my abuser (my mother) reappeared in my life after cutting off the relationship for 4 years. Well I have worked through the PTSD, and am no longer suffering from that.
Well last week, I had a kitchen accident, and it triggered some forgotten memories of abuse. My T wants to do EMDR on this on my next appointment. But I think since my appointment this week, I am okay about it, I am not having any more nightmares.
Well anyways, I just wonder if you suffered child abuse, will you always be "sensitive to it". Like being triggered. Sometimes I get very angy when I see a parents being unkind to a child, I have always felt like this even as a child. Is this something you just have to learn to live with. It is almost like the effects will never go away, so you need to learn how to life with it. I my T says I am functioning at a high level, but then something happens and I get really bothered by it.
So I guess I am rambling on here, but do you think it is just something you have learn to live with? Any experience ?
