Hi everyone. My name is Joe, I'm 31 years old and I'm a survivor of CSA.. I'm basically one of those who blocked out what happened to me for years, until an event forced those memories back up in a big way, and I have not been dealing well with it.

It started up again when I had a colonoscopy, a little over a month ago. While I was under sedation, when the doctor started to insert the tube I emotionally broke down on the table with flashbacks of my brother(who's now dead) molesting me that way when I was between 6-8 years old.

I've recently started therapy a few weeks ago. I'm glad I did, because it's helping just being able to talk to someone about it.

Well, I guess that's it for now.. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Joe.
 
Joe,

There are some wonderful, supportive people here. I'm glad that you found us. Take your time, read some posts and share when you feel comfortable doing so.

Recovery is Possible,

Joe,

Welcome!

Dealing with CSA is very difficult but things do get better. I started the recovery process a long time ago. Sometimes the progress is very slow but it is well worth the effort. Hang in there and keep at it. No hurry, set your own pace.

Joe,

Welcome to our clubhouse, so to speak. Glad you found us, but sorry you have the need.

You've probably discovered this by now, but here you are no longer alone. You have friends here who know of your pain through experience. There are men here who are traveling the same road and together we're taking the journey.

Lots of love,

John
 
Welcome To MS, Joe. Sorry you had to come here. This is a good place. It gives you a bunch of people who've been through the same stuff, and have the same problems.
 
Joe,

Just another word of welcome. Take your time and find your own safe pace. We will all be here for you.

Much love,
Larry
 
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I've been going to therapy for a little over 4 weeks now. And to me, things seems worse for me than they were before the therapy started. I guess it's from bringing all that stuff out of the proverbial closet? I don't know.

I was wondering.. How many of you have tried EMDR therapy? My T has said I'm going through PTSD, and he thinks it would help. However, I've been reading about it; And I've been scared about going through the molestation again. How did EMDR work with you?
