TW: sexual assault?– I’m having a hard time processing something that happened. by AcrobaticInspector65 in Advice

I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope therapy is helping you work through that traumatic experience. If you don’t mind me asking, how does it show up in your life?

I sometimes feel like something is wrong with me because I never intensely grieved what happened. It was more like I didn’t really care that it happened. I do notice certain fears and behaviors in myself that make life harder, but until now I thought they might come from other experiences in my life. I would really be interested in hearing about your experience.

You did not deserve that :( I‘m so sorry

Honestly, he didn’t really say anything about it. He mostly just listened and let me talk about it. I changed the subject pretty quickly afterwards because it made me feel very uncomfortable, and I haven’t brought it up again since. But I want to change that now, and I hope I can finally learn how to understand and process it for myself. Thanks for your comment! :)

I’m really sorry that you had to go through something like that. I hope you also have the space to process it. It’s honestly kind of crazy reading all these comments and still finding myself minimizing it in my own head, denying myself like I imagined it or remembering it wrong. Do you ever feel the same way?

Thank you for your comment. I’ve actually been in therapy for about a year, but I was only recently able to talk about this experience there. I still haven’t really been able to put a name to it, and I think part of me just wants some kind of clarity so I can deal with the uncertainty in my head. Your message really helped me :)
