The same images and physical sensations have been brought up repeatedly throughout my life, which I absolutely HATED! As fast as I could (which wasn't fast enough for me), I would push those feelings and memories away. These times tend to come when I was relaxed and happy within the relationship, not when everything was new. When stability came, that's when I would relax enough to let that barrier down inside myself --->instant panic and memories barged in.

With an incident that occurred between my older brother and myself, I told my parents several times ~ each time thinking it was the first time they'd ever heard about it, because I repressed those memories along with the sexual stuff.

That's how it worked in my case.
