Ramble--Exploring Help
I've talked to my therapist about my issues about sexual abuse in the past, and she's helped in bits but never really returned to them, probably because I really haven't prompted her to. I since have stopped going to therapy but feel like I really should again...it can be beneficial to anyone anyway, but it's a big step to go on my own.
I've recently looked up local support groups/group therapies and there are quite a few, but with very specific audiences that I don't identify with (LGBT+, CSA survivors, etc.). It just makes me feel so isolated and unwelcome. Like what happened wasn't bad enough for my therapist to continuously help resolve, or to have an already established group.
There is one more outlet though, on my college campus. I don't know exactly what that organization does but I do know that they do a lot of community outreach. Part of me wants to go just to check it out, but I'm honestly so afraid of being "deflected" again--like if it's only focused on education or acute support or something. I don't know. I feel lost. But proud of myself that I've come to this point where I believe that I deserve help every once in awhile.
