A lot of boys are molested, by men and women. Boys, however, often stuff those feelings of guilt and shame inside of themselves ~ refusing to talk about it.

I'm a girl who was molested repeatedly, at different points of my life. I carry a deep sense of shame and self-hate. While I can tell myself that I don't deserve to feel shame, that doesn't do anything to make me feel better. The only thing that has helped me in the last 30+ years of therapy is my newest T accepting how I feel. His acknowledgment of my emotions really does help me feel a little bit better.

I hope that you're able to see a T, whom you're able to open up to, and share these dark emotions and thoughts that you battle with. Best wishes to you! Welcome to PC!
