    • Close Sexual Abuse

      My abuser forced oral sex on me after giving me "something" to drink telling me it was kool aid. I was six. I wiggled and tried to get away. His face unshaved rubbed my vaginal area raw, burning, hurting, I couldn't get away. My eyes raced around the room. The pain worsened, it hurt more and more, his fingers were reaching to break my virginity. I "popped" out of my head and was floating above myself. "disociating". When floating, I felt nothing.

      Treatments

      EMDR Working / Worked
      Im in it and I have side effects. First exhaustion now terrible back pain sciatica angry tense. At this point I want to quit. But I mostly want it to be over.
      Talking Working / Worked
      First just me ranting and raving with the Post Traumatic Stress in full swing, I was frantic flooded with memories not necessarily from that particular abuse but the during of that time in my life. Started taking anxiety pills, had some episodes while driving. Very scary again. I was extremely angry and wanted revenge.
      \"The Courage To Heal\" Somewhat Helpful
      If were talking about the book. It was the first thing I bought when I decided to learn more about abuse. I've been piecing memories together for over 30 years.
