That makes sense to me. Abuse is all about being viewed/treated sexually without your consent, right? Of course you'd worry about the same thing happening again.

I remember having this lightning-quick, horrifying little thought about talking to T about sexual abuse:

Which is ridiculous. And it mortifies me that I even thought that for a moment. But, hey, that's what trauma does to a person.

I think it's really brave of you to seek out a male T to talk about this type of thing. If he's worth his salt, he won't see you as "slutty" or otherwise sexualize you. I wish you the best of luck.
