and that's adults. how on earth can a child have any kind of fucking narrative (nevertheless attempted during #narrativeexposuretherapy last year) #csa

Thank you. Glad you’ve good experiences too. Recommendations welcome if you have any.

following surprise bonus Monday morning flashback :-(

These resources all look amazing - and the iatrogenic harm concept - thank you so much. Am tangled in so much re-traumatisation that I've just touched on here.

That it should not be my shame, is one thing.

Thank you

Having finally seen a counsellor last yr, I live in a confusing state between denial & knowing I was abused a lot. The counsellor also helped me see how dissociation contributes to such confusion, as well as family & FMS etc. I'm trying to find ways to communicate what happened, maybe just to myself

In my 20s, I seemed to be having psychotic episodes and found myself in an early intervention service where I was prescribed anti-psychotics. When trauma/ptsd was mentioned, that psychiatrist parent said, among other things, "what have YOU got to be traumatised about?"

Aged 16, I saw a counsellor for the first time, and left home. The parent stopped that counsellor from seeing me again, and I didn't see another one until my 40s.
