Are there any in person support groups for CSA? I’ve recently come to an “epiphany” in somatic therapy, and I’m struggling immensely.
Hi all. As the title suggests, in my recent work with a somatic therapist I’ve started putting together a lot of dots and remembering a lot of things from my past. I’ve recollected that I experienced COCSA. Additionally, I’ve began to worry much that there was a prior event that left me predisposed to COCSA, as I didn’t have a phone, the internet, cable, or anything that might otherwise expose me to suggestive and inappropriate adult content at such a young age. Anyways, this has been really hard. I’ve had a chronic pit in my stomache for so many weeks now I’ve lost track. I’m getting really depressed. And spacing out all the time. I obviously don’t have anyone to talk to besides my therapist, because this is such a taboo topic that I wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing this with anyone around me, nor would they know what to say. I’m really depressed. I havnt been this depressed in a long time. I feel so alone and like I’m drowning in this huge horrible feeling and I can’t tell anyone because of how intense it is. Does anything outside of therapy help you guys soothe and support yourselves? Are there any support groups out there for survivors of child assault? I’m really struggling. I feel so alone. And this is really scary. I worry the more i remember the harder it’s gonna be.
