Hi Enigmatic!
How are you this morning? Well, I can tell you from experience that I went through that too. Did it really happen? Was I only DREAMING that it did? What if I'm wrong? All those same feelings came to the top of the mountain to be RECOGNIZED!!! I knew something was wrong with me as I didn't like MEN at all. I am NOT gay!!!
I just never felt comfortable around them for very long. I couldn't understand it. Like I said, the movie of the week brought it all back. I turned away from my husband and refused to have s-e-x with him. It made me feel DIRTY.
He once told me in anger "that's your problem"!!! I was so hurt by that remark that I gave up on that TOTALLY!!! I was so tired of feeling like a wet sponge. All I ever soaked up was alot of grief. I would quit in the middle of it all and go journalling in my den. I felt guilty for a time, but then I said
NO, I have the right to refuse SERVICE to anyone!!! lol......
These things can never go away. It's very sad that if you do not have a husband that really knows the true meaning of love. Now we have a perfect thing going here. There's other issues here, but too personal to go into on postings.
Anyway, no, therapist do NOT try to tell you it didn't happen,
any more than they tell young children it did!!!! That's on the telly. They portray therapists in a bad light.
Trust in yourself that someone will be able to help you sort out your feelings. Therapy is a very private and SAFE place to do so.
Good luck.
