I only have a minute because it is halftime of the university of southern california vs. university of texas (american) football game. I thought what you said relates to what happens to me. I have all the characteristics and reactions of a victim of childhood sexual abuse, but I wasn't abused that way. We're all different. It might be easy to buy into the idea that where there is smoke there is fire, but there isn't any reason my behavior wasn't caused just by physical abuse, stress, genetics, etc.
So sometimes therapists want me to "open up" more, and not be so "macho". But I can't share what didn't happen. It's hard enough dealing with what did.
I'm in daily groups now, so this all at the surface.
sports is a nice distraction when your team is ahead!
