Hi everyone.
I am having a really bad day today.
I have been speaking to my therapist about the abuse, but I am really struggling to "get in touch" with my anger towards my abuser. What is wrong with me?
I have spent almost 40 years trying to run from what he did to me and now I am scared to confront my feelings.
I am scared what effect voicing my emotions is going to have on me.
I feel so weak and so useless at the moment.
Is this normal? I just don't know any more. I am feeling very unsure about everything.
Talking about my abuser has left me feeling extremely vulnerable again.
I sometimes wonder whether I did the right thing in telling someone else!
What is happening to me? I'm scared about the way that I am feeling.
I hope that somebody out there can reassure me that these are normal feelings.
Thanks for listening.

I know it's a long time since you posted. But I just thought I'd say that when it's hard getting in touch with your feelings, there's lots of techniques you can try. Go to www.emofree.com and find out about EFT. That is worth finding out about, and can be used in conjunction wtih other healing therapies. There's lots of free stuff on the site as well.
The learning curve involved in healing as a child abuse survivor is pretty steep, least it was for me! Anyway hope that helps, it's just one of the things that I've found to be really useful.
Good luck!

Hi Marion
Thanks for the link to emofree.com. I have looked at their website and ordered the free material to look at - I'll try anything to get through how I'm feeling at the moment.
Thanks for the tip - I'm glad that it worked for you!
