About Me
Philosophy: Life is an adventure ... get out there! Okay, I do believe this ... just having a hard time taking my own advice at the moment. Favorite Quote: I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. - D.H. Lawrence

Support Groups
Close Sexual Abuse
I was sexually, physically and emotionally abused. It lasted for a large period of my childhood.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Counseling along with EMDR has really helped. I attempted therapy without EMDR and the results were poor.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- It's difficult to articulate myself regarding what happened when I was a child. I'm trying but it's so hard. I get frustrated with myself that I can't tell my therapist things that I want to. Hopefully someday I'll get to the point that I can articulate my thoughts.
Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Some things I never forgot, but chose not to think about. Some memories were fuzzy and others I simply couldn't remember at all ... until they came crashing back in. I wish I couldn't remember anything at all. Life would be so much easier.
Treatments
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
Treatments
- Forgiveness Working / Worked
- Music Working / Worked
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
Open Incest Survivors
I was sexually abused by my cousin. It makes me sick to think about what he did to me.
Treatments
- EMDR Working / Worked
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I find it very difficult to speak about what was done to me. Usually when I try I feel an overwhelming heaviness that comes over me. I usually drink or eat to numb the pain. Lately I want to end the pain completely. Its too much.
