I don't know if this is helpful but a friend of mine had a similar experience--she said sometimes she'd wake up with genital pain--when she was dealing with CSA in her therapy. She said I sometimes felt like the abuse had just happened a few minutes ago. It went on for months and then it stopped but it was very distressing while it lasted.

I haven't experienced exactly what you're talking about but have had lots of aches and pains, mostly muscle tension, associated with processing difficult stuff in therapy.

I don't know if it would be helpful but maybe doing something that makes your body feel good and loved and cared for (like a message, a run, a pedicure or a haircut) might help you feel valued and confident. Or maybe just relaxed. I don't know that it'll stop the other symptoms but it might give you some immediate positive associations with your body?

I hope it goes away soon. Hugs if you want them
