First session with new T went well. She is a believer and she seems very well equipped for CSA issues an how it affect the brain. I was pretty impressed. She talked about tools and goals. Really good first session. I am so relieved right now. She seems very proactive and not reactive. I like that trait

I had a good first session with my new T this week as well. Was also apprehensive at first, but she turned out great.
Don't think I could have started recovery with a female therapist. Way too much shame at first for that. But now it will be good to work it out with a woman's perspective.

My opinion on this may be off but here is what I think. I think that when a person is sexually abused they are on of two types. Type 1 is a sex addict. One who feels like they need sex to make themselves feel worthy. They assaociate any type of touch to sexual feelings. This may also involve alot of porn and masturbation. Type 2 are the ones who feel repulsed by sex because it triggers them to the abuse they suffered. I think this type may even feel that seclusion is there any way to feel safe. There are probably so many different types but this , I think, are the 2 main types. I am interested to hear from others on this.

I am amazed by the number of people we have here at this site. There is alot of survivors and spouses of survivors... I want to challenge those who sit back and read and don't post to take a step out of their comfort zone and start posting. I think I have learned alot by seeing what some people have been thru and what worked for them.
