Hey all... just wanted to give an update. I went back to therapy last Friday - going again tomorrow. I really am shocked at how much it helped after being away from it for 6+ months. We did some regression therapy (aka hypnotherapy) and while we didn't touch on anything traumatic, I got to explore my feelings of telling my girlfriend about the abuse. How I wanted her to be there but wanted to push her away at the same time, be distant, etc.

I helped so much... I let my g/f know that I wanted her help but it would have to be on my time. (I haven't gone into any detail with her yet, and regrettably, I am still playing the abuse off as not a big deal... but it's how I have to play it right now in order to cope with her knowing anything at all!) I am hoping to work on my need to escape into violent images during sex in the next couple of weeks of therapy. That's always a fun discussion to have with your therapist... not.

Thanks for everyone here for the support the past couple of weeks... I couldn't have done it without you.

Hi Sean,

I'm glad to hear that you are getting something out of therapy.

There are a lot of times that therapy isn't any fun at all.

Keep up the good work, and keep us posted.

Sean I am glad that it is working for you.

It shows that you are determined to move ahead. Just remember we are all here for you and you are never alone any more
 
Sean,

Remember that you are the one who did it. None of the guys here, no therapist or girlfriend. You did it.

It can be so difficult. I know I need the support that I get here and from my wife, but when the rubber meets the road, I have to do the work.

I'm glad you're seeing some of the benefits of your work. Keep it up. You're setting a great example. You're helping me to hope.

Thanks,

Joe
 
I am glad that you have returned to therapy, and that it is going well. I hope that you remember that in therapy, it is you who is in control, and can say what you feel you wish to talk of at any time. Please do not let someone else take your freedom in that away. I wish you continued good luck and success.

I am glad that you are going back to therapy and that it has helped, it can really do wonders. And as Leo said, remember that you are the one in control of the therapy not the therapist, they are there to guide you and help you, not force you. I wish you good luck and continued success with your new round of therapy.
