Interesting thread. Yes, I do suppose that it is a human need to create scenarios to explain things. I'm sure your therapist meant no harm , but it's definitely important to differentiate between child hood sexual abuse, and consensual sex play between minors. As a survivor myself, I felt like your story was very survivor friendly , and actually point Ted out something that's become a problem with my journey of healing. When I told my sister that I was a survivor she started talking about her experience with consensual sex play with our brother and how it relates to my story of very non consensual sex with an adult . I think it's important to note that I do know several young boys who had very similar experience to yours and it was abuse bc it was not consensual. with such a taboo subject I think ppl are apt to jump to conclusions and try to label everything the same which isn't what survisors need
