(tw: talking about my abuse) what kind of therapy can help me recover memories?
i know i was molested. i know that for sure. my very first memory of my life begins with abuse.
but i can't tell if i mixed up a horrible dream with being raped. if i had a horrible dream (not about rape) and looking back on it, associate it with rape i may of gone through. does that make sense?
i want to heal. i want to let this part of my life go. i turn 26 this year. i've lost 25 years of my life to letting him win.
i want to start healing so that by my 30s, i can live. truly live. fall in love. have consensual sexual experiences. laugh again.
oh my god, laugh again. a real laugh. not be afraid to speak. i wanna heal.
and i think my first step to healing ..is reliving the memories. i need the clear picture. i need to know what happened. i need to know what my body went through. what she survived. i need to know in order to really heal. to gain full control back.
so my question is. how? what therapy can help me with that? i swear i heard about something.. edr, emdr? rde? something like that. that helps you find lost memories, maybe relive them.
i need that. i need help on how to go about this. please.
i'm ready to heal and move on
