I'm a little hesitant to put this up here because it is a bit specific, but I am really struggling right now, and would like some advice. I am almost 40 and up to a little over a year ago, I never told anyone about my past. It was at that time that I told my t, whom I am still seeing. A little earlier this year I started a group for those that have gone through csa. When I started I stated to both my t and the group t that one of my biggest fears was knowing someone in the group. That did not happen at the time, but a new member just started, and as I walked into the room I was floored. It is someone that I know. We are not close, but she does know a lot of people that I do. Since this happened I have tried to make it clear that this is effecting me greatly to my group t. I'm not sure what she could do, but I don't think that she is understanding how difficult this is for me. I don't feel safe in the group now, and I don't know how to change that. I kind of feel like I am being forced out of the group by this happening. I haven't been able to talk the last couple of weeks, and my anxiety is through the roof. Is this something that I should keep on trying to do? I feel like I am kind of screwed by staying or leaving. Am I overreacting? Would this upset any one here?
