Last week, I sent my T an email with a link about symptoms of sexual abuse in children. I told him I needed to talk about this article at some point and discuss how freaked out I am by how MANY of the items applied to me by the time I was five years old, but I wasn't ready to do so yet. In the meantime, I told him I need to talk about why I torture myself by reading stuff like that constantly and then never discuss it with him. Until I read your thread today, I really thought I was the only one doing that to myself. Thank you so much for posting this.

Oh, and btw, my T was really receptive to discussing this and very kind. I think it is helpful to let your T know.
