[Nameless1]

Hi,

I am new, posted my intro as suggested. Just want to say that coming here feels much like when I went to counseling for the first few times... all I could do was give my name and the rest of the session I cried... never able to speak about the 'significant emotional events, abuse and trauma' that forever changed the course of my life.

So for right now, all I can do is keep coming back to this forum, cry and hope that I can let go of the weight that I have been carrying since I was 13...

Until then thank you for being here...

Sometimes what helps is just reading some of the other stories. That is what I did.
I didn't talk about my own issues for a while. I just posted to threads and somehow it came out a little at a time.

It is ok if you don't feel ready, there are many understanding people here that know exactly how hard that is, so there is no one pushing you here, not like a therapist that wants to hear your story.

The first part of healing is letting yourself talk a little at a time. Then, at least here, you will begin to read other posts that say, me too. And as you cry others will say, I cry too. And as you gain a little strength, others will say, I feel a little stronger too.
It is a process, it takes time, so many here know that and they will listen if you decide to talk.

Welcome to PC, may this be a place that you can come and find comfort and support. There are many nice and understanding supporting people here.

I'm glad that you came here.

The road to healing is long and painful. Take baby steps and share as you feel comfortable. My hope for all of is that we will truly reach a point of freedom from the past that holds us back. Welcome to PC and I hope you find the support here that you need!

You are on your way....It's incredibly difficult to allow yourself to open up about what's been hidden for so long and to feel the strong feelings that are elicited. We know it's the way towards healing. It's a painful journey, but worth it. I am still in the process of working through my traumas in therapy, and I have an incredibly difficult time addressing it - even though I've been with my wonderful therapist for over 2 years.

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I am truly working towards that end, one word at a time.

Kind Regard

good for you.

I am a survivor of abuse too.

I am glad you came and talked.

You are right on schedule.
