So I am not sure where to put this. I dont really want to trigger anyone. I need help and I know I am not a well individual. I went to therapy last Wed. and my therapist said what comes to mind when you think of shame I said just alot of chatter. (Chatter to me is just things that pop into my head like I dont want to be here in this room right now, i dont want to think about this etc.) So then she does some EMDR tapping on my knees. Then says that she thinks my mother sexually abused me then read me a mother daughter incest column from Ann Landers. She said that column didnt throw up any red flags but two things I told her in the past did. 1) that since around 8 probably even closer to 5 I have been sexually and emotionally attracted to women that are mother figure types. Teachers, counselors, Sunday school teachers etc. 2) i know this is bad but i dont act on these thoughts. The fact that there is something exciting to me and not sexually about woman wounded by sexual abuse. I noticed this at 9 when I was watching a play with my teacher about good touch bad touch and I could tell she was feeling some kind of way. Sometimes I bad thoughts about if I had hurt a woman I know or dont as a child. How I would have wounded them its just interesting but the farthest thing I want to do is hurt anyone. Anyway these two things are what she is basing her theory ( and she said it was just that)on that my mother sexually abused me when I said no I dont think so she said well it could have been some other woman but she thinks it was a woman. I mean is it just mean or is that a long shot theory just based on the two things I told her.
Thanks for this!

Yeah, my initial thought is that it does sound like a bit of a flimsy case for a woman having sexually abused you, yes. And to suggest it could have been your mother, wow. It's almost like they're convinced it is your mother. Mind you, I don't have the insight into your case or the mental health training that the therapists and psychologists do.

I guess, keep your skepticism but at the same time, be honest about what your therapy is revealing to you. Best of luck with everything too.
Thanks for this!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
