It never ceases to amaze me how little some therapists know about the consequences of CSA and sexual assault, especially considering the prevalence of that kind of experience among therapy clients.
And of course promiscuity is not something a therapist should be judgmental about, whether or not there’s a history of CSA.
Have you been able to find a therapist who can be accepting and sensitive about your sexual history?
