Does anyone else hear the voice of their abuser? I had to revisit a transcript of an abusive incident from May and discussed it today in session. Later, when I was at the grocery store, I could hear one particular phrase over and over in my head.
Just over and over while I was trying to buy food. Is that normal, to hear this voice in your head? I got really upset and anxious and had to sit in my car and cry for a while. I also made some really poor food choices while in this state. I'm feeling not really healthy mentally right now. Will this ever end?
ETA: I also emailed my therapist about this incident and I'm feeling super bad about myself that I did that. |
Yes, sometimes. Or sometimes see his face with that look. I'm thinking it's normal.
I'm sorry, NP. It sucks. 
I think it gets better? It doesn't happen to me as often. I don't usually have nightmares any more. I'm glad you emailed your therapist. That's what he's there for.
