This may be complete nonsense, but I'm wondering if memories are trying to surface.

As a child I was assaulted by a group of adolescent boys. I remember no details about the event itself, just the bit straight afterwards. Over the last few months it's become clear that thing are trying to surface.

I've had several dreams (I usually don't remember dreams but these ones are different) which seem to have a bearing on the assault. Recently I've had a few where for some time after I wake I've had physical sensations of discomfort. I don't know whether I'm jumping to conclusions but I'm wondering if perhaps it could be linked.

I'm between therapists at the moment, waiting for one who does EMDR, so I can't ask a professional. Has anyone here come across this sort of thing, please?
