I've been processing CSA that happened 13 years ago for a little over 2 years now, but just recently I've become triggered by being touched in the most normal, innocent ways by men. This hadn't been a problem at all until in the last couple of months. I've always had a male T, and the closeness of him while we do EMDR has also been anxiety provoking. Just today I was at a public event with friends and a good guy friend of mine put his arm around me for a picture and I was very uncomfortable and started to panic. In the professional setting where I work, I was also put in a position with a client where he needed physical support to walk and he started caressing my hand which left me triggered for days. Anyone else had a similar experience? I don't understand why this started to develop

I imagine that whatever you have been working on currently brought this new symptom to the surface. I never had a problem with my brother (except thinking him a jerk, lol) then I started working with a trauma t and unearthing CSA stuff that I have never remember, just suspected all this time. then my bro texted me out of the blue and wanted to meet up because he was in town. I totally flipped out. physical reaction, major anxiety. had to leave work and had ER session with t it was so bad. turns out he was my molester. but it never surfaced before I had done all this work. so I think as you uncover more and more, different things will surface for you.
