Lost in thinking
In my recovery from Incest I remembered how often I went round and round in my head thinking...Could he have just done what he did? Back and forth in an endless cycle of trying to figure out what was real and unreal. I got away from what I was feeling in the moment, the sensations in my body. In adulthood I continued to go back and forth in my head thinking should I or shouldn't I feel a certain way, or Is this real or not real, Is this ok or is this not ok. An endless cycle leading to absolute confusion and an inability to trust myself.
Book Excerpt
My House of Lies: Awakening from a Childhood of Sexual Abuse
I left my body where I was feeling, went up into my head to figure out if this was real or not real while it was taking place. I kept asking myself, he couldn’t have just done this, could he? So, I thought I had imagined it. This was one of my early memories of when a dissociation occurred. Trying to figure out what is real and what is unreal, getting lost in my thinking in order to leave the sensations of my body where it was taking place, feeling thoroughly confused and not trusting myself. When it was over, I didn’t have a clue what I felt or thought.
