SA flashbacks

[Pink49]

Hi everyone 😀!! I guess I’m ready to start therapy on 12/2/2020 with Dr. Danielle because I have been getting occasional sex abuse flashbacks from about age four. I’m so angry and appalled at my grandfather and I don’t even know how he could have kept doing stuff to me. How could he have lived with himself???? How could he have done that??? I just don’t understand it. Someone must have done it to him when he was little I guess. So crazy.

Pink49, I just wanted to wish you well with your upcoming appointment in a couple days.

May it be the start of emotional healing that you so deserve. xx

I am sorry you had to go through that. The good news is that you made it through.

You don't have to understand why he did what he did. You can never be in his mind.

What you can do, is decide what to do with that reality. You have acknowledged it. Have you gone through the stages of grief? Have you tried the Unsent Letter method? Write a letter to your grandfather. Ask him why, but focus on how it made you feel. End with the knowledge that you survived. Seal it and then, safely, burn it or shred it.
