Strong enough ??

Hi

I am having trauma therapy to help me with my depression and anxiety nightmares flashbacks and life. I have remembered something relating to sexual abuse when I was six. I feel so angry and frightened at what else may i remember?? I have a great psychologist who I do the regression with i trust her completely. I just worry I may not be able to handle what I remember. My childhood was so traumatic it led to years of heavy drinking,which I have stopped, but I really could do with the numb feeling to get through this. Has anyone else experienced trauma therapy ? Is it going to be worth the pain? Hope this makes sense to you x

Hello Winniepooh. Thank you for sharing with us all what must have been very difficult to write. Well done because you have tackled so much already and now this. having coped with everything so far I am sure that your Psychologist knows you and what you are able to handle and I think she believes you are strong enough to do this, especially as you have great faith in her. She would not take you any further than she believes you can both work through.

Are there any members who can reassure Winnie?

Have faith in yourself and all the best for the future. Please let us know how your journey is going. Best wishes,

MAS Nurse.

You need to discuss your early memories with your Health Professional, taking into consideration the dynamics of your early life and how your family related to you.

I went through Trauma when I was at work and it took many years for me to come to terms with that situation. In my case I found that walking away became the best way of dealing with that problem, although I waited until I became a Pensioner. Although I am disabled the action I took was very liberating and I was able to begin a new life with those who love me.

You need to understand that you need to be kind to yourself and move on if that is needed.

You need that advise and decide what you wish to gain when all can become water under the bridge

Good Luck
