If you don't have conscious memories but want to find out if something happen, then the T should suggests the methods of doing it and it is your choice to go ahead with any of those or not. The T, however, also has the right to refer you out if they believe that the solution to your current problem is to uncover the memories of possible past abuse but you are not willing to go in that direction. So, you have your choice in this situation and the T has theirs.

Yes but she said ok we are going to start the session with a little processing. She asked me what comes up when i thought about shame. I told her just chatter. Chatter to me is anything thst comes in my head like dont think about this, this isnt good, i dont want to be sitting here talking about this. Then she says I have something I want to share with you. I think you were sexually abused by your mother. She then read me a Ann Landers article on mother daughter incest. She said that article didnt send up any red flags but some of the stuff I told her did. 1) the fact that I have always since about 8 had a sexual and emotional attraction to mother figure types. My teachers, counselors, Sunday school teachers etc.2) The fact that I do and have had thoughts about sexually abusing woman as children and how it would have damaged them. There is something exciting about women wounded that way. This has also been the case since age 8 I dont mean sexually exciting and I couldnt have done it anyway because they are my age or older. I know this is sick. I never said i wasnt but i dont act on my thoughts. Anyway this is all she basing the fact I was sexually abused by my mother on and when I said no I dont think so she said well maybe it wasnt your mom but another woman. How is those two things enough to come to that theory? She did express it was just a theory. Still how did she get to that theory with that information?
