What concerns me is that this idea that you might have been abused is coming from her, not from you. If you had the feeling that you were abused at the young age but don't remember, I'd, at least, understand the therapist's desire to try to get to the specific memories. But, even in that case, she can't use EMDR for that. Also, as, I think, I mentioned in the other thread, I don't believe in fishing for memories. In my experience, unconscious reveals itself on its own terms, not anyone else's.

I don't want to ask for any details, but I am just wondering what gives her the idea that you were abused...You don't need to explain if you don't want to.
Because I want to know why I have certain behaviors. Example: being very comfortable around topics such as sexual abuse. I have been that way since I was about 7. Also just being really uncomfortable about sex in general. Among other things. Also to I was a very sexual child. I have no answers to how I got this way. Also some bad sexual impulses I have. I only remember sexual play with peers. It doesnt explain were all of my issues come from. I desperately need to know in order to heal but that hasnt happened yet because I have no answers only specualtions. So she suspects something may of happened to me I dont remember.
