Hello Sunny,
Body memories are memories generated by the mind that will allow you to feel as if you are being physically touched. It happens because the mind will recall an event but unlike a dream the body itself may feel pressure and temperature. The mind goes to these thoughts when it is not busy, so entering, during or exiting sleep is very common time. I think the way to reduce it is to release the control those thought have on us. There are all kinds of feelings that these memories produce. Fear, anxiety or sexual may be some of them. Everyone is different. Keep writing and taking up space. We are here for you. Take care.

wow, ok, I just started a thread asking basically the same thing, I totally didn't see this one. This is really validating to me, although I'm sorry anyone else is going through what I have been experiencing, I needed to know that I'm not going crazy, especially since when I asked my T she didn't answer me. I feel like I can breathe a little better now for some reason....

Sorry you are having issues with this. Some Ts work with depression and axiety, but may not deal with what you asked about. If she didn't answer a question, you may want to look around. Their job is normally to assist you. If we can be of assistance please let us know. Take care

Whilst I was having a smear test it happened to me and I freaked. It hurt and I was kind of 'foggy' for a while, couldn't concentrate, didn't really hear what the nurse was saying etc .... and it built up an anxiety attack and that led to a few bad days .... if it happens sexually I feel shame, but I'm learning to cope now and know that the shame was my abusers not mine. I tell myself I am 45 years old now, not a child and focus on something that reminds me I am in the NOW. My therapist gave me a small teddy, well a mouse a stuffed one which I carry with me sometomes and it reminds me of how she brings me into the present ... just a thought to work on, hope it helps, Ophelia xxxx (I had a stuffed mouse called Mickey when I was young who I 'talked' to all the time ....

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