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. |
(Np) yes. The voice of my father will get stuck in my head, also with a specific phrase, on repeat. I've learned to handle most of my dissociative/ptsd tendencies and episodes over the course of my treatment, but not that. It is really maddening. I hear you. It will stop. I just wish I knew how to turn it off myself.
