I do feel my trauma is real, but I don't feel it is valid. Absolutely not valid. My trauma is related to sexual abuse in my teens, but I feel it isn't valid because I didn't struggle, I just froze. Plus, I question if I do actually remember things well. Maybe I was in for it, too. Maybe I asked for it.

You are not alone. I froze too, and so have a lot of other girls and women. it doesn't mean it was consensual, it means we were too shocked or scared or confused to struggle and yell. Your pain is valid and you didn't deserve what happened to you.
