Can someone force the feelings and emotions behind abuse to surface?
Just recently I had 'break through' of sorts in relation to neglect and actually feeling the sadness I have denied myself for all these years (it was something that T said that triggered me and unlocked the emotional door of sorts). My question is that I have talked about CSA in therapy but feel that I haven't addressed or felt the feelings behind it. I kind of said to T what I thought I should be feeling  . Since having the recent breakthrough as noted above I feel like I haven't really processed the feelings behind the CSA abuse (I hope I'm making sense). When do the feelings really truly come up? When does the intellectualizing end?

Maybe after you work a bit with the feelings from the neglect you will be able to work your way down to these CSA feelings? This work is gradual and in layers. What you are doing now is good. Are you going to discuss this with your therapist?

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