Hi @Capricorn84 

 

It’s so lovely to hear from you ðŸ’œ

 

It was my pleasure to welcome you to the forums and I think that it’s wonderful that you’re reaching out for support ðŸ’œ

 

Suddenly learning things about yourself that you weren’t previously aware of, sounds incredibly confronting and as such, I just ever so gently wanted to encourage you to be patient and gentle with yourself as you begin to process all of this new information ðŸ’œ

 

Oh Capricorn84 ðŸ’œ I’m so deeply sorry to hear that you were sexually assaulted and my heart goes out to you ðŸ’œ In my experience, the trauma associated with sexual assault can be absolutely devastating and as such, it’s completely understandable that your memories are fragmented and as a result, you’re still trying to piece everything together ðŸ’œ

 

Sometimes when we’ve experienced trauma, the opportunity to be able to make decisions in relation to our care and recovery can be especially important and as such, I just ever so gently wondered if there’s anything in particular that would be helpful for you?

 

Please know that I’m thinking of you at such a difficult and distressing time ðŸ’œ

 

Take kind and gentle care of yourself,

 

ShiningStar ðŸ’œ
