re: abusers & therapy,
i've been in therapy on & off since i was 15. i stopped for a few years from 26-29, and when i went back, it was bc i was convinced that i was an abuser, and i needed help.

when i got to therapy, the doctor spent a while with me before telling me that i wasn't the abuser — i was the abused person.

and the emotional responses i was so ashamed of.... were things that i absolutely should learn to manage, but that they were reactions to abuse.

ever since that care, the following EMDR & then meeting anti-abuse baddies, i am a different person 🥺 so much more happy and confident, with so much more self-love.
