I think I may very well be going crazy. I am questioning weather or not I was sexually abused. When I was younger my dad use to expose himself to me. He would also have me watch him watch porn movies. I don't remember anything else than that, but I really feel like more than that happened. If I don't recall any more than that do you think it could have happened and I just block it out? There have been times in the past (during sex) that I just feel like I am blocking something out. I do see a T, but I am really uncomfortable bringing this topic up. What should I do?

cmara, I have yet to meet anyone who hadn't been traumatized to make up a story with feelings to go along. It could be that you are now more at ease with your T, and thus the idea of discussing such a topic is feasible.
You can mention it to your T, talking around the issue without discussing your own fears. Ask what "most" therapists do or say when their patient/client thinks they were molested as a child... questions like that, until you can trust T with your own thoughts.

sometimes for me it feels like i am looking into a fog... if i just look close enough i will see... but it's gone before i can focus.
sky gave you good advice... i have found that when an issue is too hard to bring up... i write it in my journal and let him read it... sometimes i ask him to read it to himself... and tell him i am not ready to talk about it... lyn

definately talk with your T they can really help. And just be exposing himself and making you watch porn that is sexual abuse. Hang in there it gets better. I also have very little memory.

Been there and I will tell you that talking about it really helped! Our subconscience is amazing in the way it [tries to] protect us. Start by telling your T that you are having a tough time talking about something that is really bothering you, and I bet s/he will advise you how to work through it and before you know it, you will, and will feel relieved. (sorry about the long sentence) Best of luck!
