Talking About My Traumatic Experiences

I end up oversharing easily I think, and new folks that I have even a vague inkling of thinking they're ok people, I just info dump.... and they often dont know what to do... like "ok I'm sorry that sounds tough" and just leave... I don't know why I overshare trauma stuff... I don't want to scare folks off... it just happens

No, all I've had a sexual partner who respected my experiences. But it was my responsibility to communicate what I felt and needed. This was a world of help, but it can hurt more than help if you choose a wrong partner.

It’s been really hard for me too. Like I want to talk to people but some people that haven’t been through this trauma will judge you and say stupid things that make you feel humiliated. I am here for you if you need to talk. I found talking through therapy helped I also did ART therapy or I think it’s also called hand movement therapy it was really cool and helpful. Feel free to message me

Book called "I never called it rape" was useful. Also, I've found that retelling the trauma hurts, but writing something called "victim impact statements" help. I also know EMDR helps me sleep without nightmares, stop reliving the trauma, stop flashbacks, etc.

I struggle with the same thing. My therapist specializes in ADHD and isn't a trauma therapist. Someday I'd like to find a therapist who specializes in trauma. I've heard good things about EMDR.
