In reply to getting over 'abuse', posted by B2chica on October 4, 2005, at 12:50:10
I'm in the same place you are (((B2))). My T says you never "get over it", you learn to deal with it. I agree with everyone else, ppl here don't get tired of hearing you, your T won't get tired of hearing you, you just go ahead and say what you need to say. And the idea of writing it down is excellent. I do that now, and it's so cathartic. I keep a journal of my therapy, so I can see what we've done. It helps so much. It is hard not to blame yourself, maybe because you were blamed by the abuser? Or because that was the way you justified there "okayness" to yourself at the time? At some point you will feel anger toward them maybe, and a lot of other feelings. It feels like sh*t, I know.
