That's why I am going to try to write it down, a little bit anyway, and reserve the right to say I can't do this and try to bury it again.

She asked me point blank after a few sessions if I was sexually abused. I denied it. She never believed my denial. I still want to deny it, but at this point I can't. I need to try to deal with it.

Hi PoetI'm confused. Are you journaling? I'm not sure I would want to do that myself, that would be too much like therapy. It would bring it to the forefront and it would consume my every thought. I'm just not readdy to go through that right now.
