Well, on Sunday after church, I had another session with my pastor's wife, and had a flashback during the session. In my flashback, I saw myself during the abuse being photographed by my rapist. A flash from a camera, going off again, and again.
Needless to say, I was a little upset about this.
But thinking about it this morning, I found myself being able to say "Screw my rapist. He doesn't own me. So he took pictures. I don't belong to him."
So maybe this flashback ends up being a step forward.
I can hope so, anyway.

Hey, Dottie,
Sorry you are still having pain. Painful memories will probably still continue, but maybe the flashbacks will decrease or not bother you as much.
What you thought this morning: Good, very good. Hang in there, keep your health and good spirits.
Love ya!
Hugs and Bright Blessings,
Renee
I agree...
It's not that you have them that's important. It's how you react to them. That will eventually take away all their power over you, and hopefully, eventually they'll stop happening entirely (or very rarely).
