You do have such an empathic T, who just seems to always know what to say and when to say it.
Daisy, I don't think you realize how great you are doing in therapy. You have processed so much pain about your past, pain you had buried for so many years. Pain you weren't even going to deal with in therapy and boom, it surfaced, because you felt safe and warmly understood with your therapist. You are doing GREAT!! This does take years. And why are you in such a hurry??? I would want to stay with your T forever.
I know you work full time, but Oprah had a show on CSA this Tuesday (I think). Oprah talked about when she went to visit her father one summer, her uncle (abuser) was there. Oprah went about the weekend as if everything was alright, nothing was out of place, but inside she was raging. After she left and did some soul searching, she called her father and told him that under no circumstances could she ever visit him again if he was to invite his brother over. As a society, we help keep the perpetrater's secret. Nobody tells. Becuase, it is so darn HARD. You finally told someone. That is so wonderful, but such daunting work. You are so courageous.
I am so glad you went to your appointmentment, and that you are a part of Babble.
