Got emotional today in therapy

Finally I got to revisit the trauma of my childhood today at 55 days sober...the psych got my adult self to talk to my child self. I said it wasnt my fault what hes doing to you and that you will ve ok. I suprised myself when I felt a well of emotion come up and tears swell..this feels right....highly recommend talking these things out its gelping me heaps....

Mr J, I love group therapy. It's easy for me to share when there are others who know exactly how I feel.

Yeah, mrjustin, I have those kinds of sessions, too. I agree it's really worth it. It took me a while to get used to my own reactions and I had quite some resistance, but not anymore. Glad you feel it's a good release

I have been through the childhood trauma, and the now adult me with a therapist. It helped me so much. It isn't our fault. It isn't a reason to hurt ourselves. If anything hurting oursels over child hood trauma just adds fuel to THEIR fire....

through many months of therapy...I learned the guy was removed(permanently) from the world a few months after his attack on me in prison(I was 4 yrs old). I never would have learned this without therapy. His "punishment" doesn't make it any more right, or ok, but I learned the total story.

woah, more than I wanted to share, but I will leave it out there.

Hey Justin,

Something similar happened to me when I finally talked to someone and I agree it was totally worth it

More power to you sir!

It wasn't until I verbalized some of my issues that I was able to start my sober journey and healing. I'm glad that you are talking it out, that really helped me.

MrJustin, I think it's great that you have a therapist leading you through this. And, I think that taking it easy after a kind of tough session is a good idea. Give your mind accept what you felt yesterday.
