Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
after everything Ive been through it messes me up... if I could I can post in each group saying what happened and theres a lot of groups... I started counceling but I dont think its gonna help... too much to deal with... I've learned on my own to just do what I can whith what I have... I should forget the dream of ever feeling happiness... gone this far with never feeling it Im sure I can keep going without it... I sometimes wish nothing ever happened to me so I would know what happiness feels like... I guess its true what they say if you never known what it is you wont miss it... if I experienced happiness Im sure I'd miss it
pain and despair
in your post so I went
and read your posts in
other forums.
There's no therapist who's
perfect and probably no
therapy that causes a
perfect healing.
That being said, many,
many people have
experienced some
degree of benefit
from working with
a qualified and
competent therapist.
Putting "happiness"
aside for the moment,
the pain caused by
traumatic experiences
in childhood, left
untreated, seldom
decreases, and so,
continuing to live
within us, colors
and contaminates
virtually everything
else, including how
we perceive and
participate in
intimate relationships.
I'm glad that you're
in counseling. I hope
it's with a therapist
whose specialty is
in the area in which
you specifically most
need help because
that will impact the
possibility of the
treatment being
effective.
Sending you hugs
and wishes for all
that you hope to
have in the years
ahead.
