TL;DR Give yourself miles of grace, curate your input sources as well as you can and never think you're being overly dramatic ...your inner child needs your love right now.

My mantra is when they get crueler out there (in the world), we get kinder in here (in our body). 5/5

The old terror of disclosure is on fire.
Media sharing the rapists predations & that old survival training gets jolted up.
Feels like we’re back in the space: “I shouldn’t know this” & “I’ll get in trouble regardless.”
That reaction is NOT irrational.
Your body is remembering the cost of truth 4/5

Hearing sexual deets about predators feels gross & intrusive.
We're not prudes, we were forced to know adult sexual info prematurely.
We held secrets we never should have had to; the old wound of being made to carry adult shame in a child’s body, reopens.
It’s a boundary rupture in real time. 3/5

One reason this is hitting so hard is that the public “debate” over what counts as a pedophile echoes the exact logic many of us had used against us.
When the world uses the same language our abusers did, our bodies remember.
This isn’t sensitivity.
This is recognition. 2/5
