Dear sweepy62.

You should definitely talk about this with your T. Please don't feel like the T will judge you or anything. No one has the right to judge anyone - unless they have lived that life.

You don't have to feel disgusting or cheap....people who abused you should feel that.

I agree with the therapist, you should talk about your issues and not write about it.

Writing a journal is only for you....it would help you clear your thoughts and give you a sense of validation (i am guessing that's the case because thinking from memory and reading and processing information are 2 different part of the brain.) Even if you have thought about an incident a thousand times....just write and read it....you would look at the incident differently (i have experienced that).

Please don't feel alone....we are here to help!!

Good luck!!

@ Open Eyes - :-) thank you!
