I think telling bits and pieces is ok. This is a subject sexual abuse that takes time to process, to feel the feelings and also to be able to tell the whole story to a therapist. I have been in therapy for the last 20 years and quit a year ago and am back in therapy. Each year I found there were layers of shame, layers of anger, layers of sadness that I still have not felt. Please be gentle with yourself as you go thru this journey. Before it get better you have to go thru some heavy stuff to get to a place of peace and understanding. Hang in there. You will get better and better by staying in therapy and finding support here.

Just wanted to let you know it's okay that you're only remembering bits and pieces. It's your brain's way of protecting yourself from emotional overload. I would suggest that you journal your thoughts, whatever they are. Just free write ... without a format and see what comes out. If you feel comfortable you can bring that with you to your next therapy session and share it. Also, don't be afraid to share your thoughts and feelings with your therapist. They understand that, at times, their patients doubt them and if you get any feedback other than understanding and concern ... then get a new therapist.

I truly wish you the very best. Please know that healing takes time. I was last abused 20 years ago and have been in therapy for the past year and a half. I'm wrapping therapy up now, as I feel that I've come to a point where I can close the door on my past. I'm not okay with what happened but I think I've found a place for that part of my past to be, in my mind, without overwhelming my present day activities.

You can and will get there too. Be kind with yourself and take it slow.
