YES, big time. After I struggled to get the story of my CSA out bit by bit by bit over months and months and months, I STILL can't talk about it when it comes up for whatever reason. I just can not do it. I might squeak out "the little kid stuff" when it needs to be mentioned, but usually I can't even do that.

I think it's a PTSD thing, really. Avoiding a subject is a big symptom of PTSD, I think. And until we fully work through it, that symptom is still there.

There are other things that I couldn't talk about before that I *can* talk about now, so I know it can get better, eventually. I guess some things take longer than others.

I think it's AWESOME, googley, that you are talking about it, even in bits and pieces. I know it's scary and hard and painful, but it really is how we heal. Good for you
