RE: An Uncomfortable Existence: One Woman's Journey Through Childhood Sexual Trauma. (CHAPTER 3)
Memory loss seems to be so common afterwards. Its so instinctive to block it out. You cant talk about it or process it normally like the other things in your life so it becomes a dream. At seven years old you should be starting to form lasting memories, but you have been robbed of them. So sad and so annoying. (To put it very mildly)
Exactly. I've done quite a bit of reading on childhood sexual assault, have been in therapy for a year, and currently volunteer at a non-profit for child assault victims. The brain knows how to protect us, but unfortunately, in that process, we lose so much. Thanks for reading. <3
