Advice Please - Should I Try to Remember Being Molested? I have been told by a therapist about 12 years ago that I probably was molested as a child. I didn't believe it because I thought my symptoms were from when I was raped at age 15.
When I was pregnant with my daughter I had some type of flash back or memory. At the time I didn't know to much about flash backs other than the one's that are related to the rape.
I shrugged it off as just a weird feeling. Now that my daughter is becoming older I'm getting more and more weird feelings of a single incident that is not related to my violation at all. Plus I'm having these dreams that indicate it.
The only thing is, I don't know 100% if I was really molested (No direct memory of sexual abuse as a child). But those weird feelings that are sexual related make me shake the same as when the flash backs from the rape come about.
So here is my question. Should I try to find out if I was molested, which I'm pretty sure I was. But the main thing that is bothering me is who was it?
Do I need to know these things to heal? I already know I was raped and have PTSD from that, so does it matter if I was molested when I was younger and have no memory of it?
My husband thinks if I find out who it was, and if it really happened that it will create more problems, especially if it was a family member.
I'm going to see a rape councilor tomorrow and ask her the same thing and if the majority of people think I should find out I'm going to get hypnotized.
I'm really scared.
