Hello everyone.
It means a lot to me to find a place for support for sexual abuse. I recently uncovered memories from my childhood that include assault by family members. I have set a boundary with my immediate family for now as I don’t know how to begin to both address this with them and hopefully heal from this trauma.
One thing I have found very confusing is that the people pleasant behavior I learned to keep me safe as a child is making me constantly recenter the focus on me now instead of them and their needs.
I am currently working with a somatic therapist, a trauma therapist
