That's weird, I was thinking about this all the way back home and how much of a help it has been. A long time ago I tried going to a psychiatrist.
When I first left TF I thought I could just push everything aside and treat it like a bad dream, but it kept surfacing. As someone said, if you don't deal with your pain, it will meet you later on.
But this psychiatrist was somewhere in left field, doing tests and being quiet. Because of time and money and lack of interest, I quit. Then, recently we got into a better financial situation, somewhat, with better benefits. So, in discussing some things with my doctor and talking about the sexual coersions I had experienced, she recommended a therapist who delt in sexual abuse. I always looked at my problem as being in a cult, I never thought of it as sexual abuse.
My first visit with this therapist I knew I had hit the jackpat, she understood everything I was saying and she listened. It has been about 6 months and I have really gained a lot and uncovered some things that I've dealt with head on. It's at first painful, but then it becomes a relief. That's my experience so far.
