Now that i have introduced myself, i would like to ask something and if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. I am 26 years old, and after too many years of keeping quiet i confided in a friend about certain things that happened to me during my childhood by two so-called family members. Anyway i am not in therapy, i do not like therapists of any kind, due to a past bad expirience with one i now do not trust them in any way. Though my friend thinks i should see another therapist, i have told her many times that i cant, but she keeps on going on about it. How do i tell her without hurting her feelings that i cant see a therapist, not only because i dont trust them, but also that i simply cannot talk about things, its just to hard. Also does anyone have any advice for "handling" things without a therapist, my main problem with it all is the memories that keep flooding back, no matter how hard i try to forget. I was once told it helps to write them down, and i have tried that but am unable to do so.
Thanks for listening to me
Cheers, Me
