What an awful feeling. I was abused emotionally for years and I relive it often.
Real memories or unreal memories - the feelings are the same. Somehow you have to get the little kid inside to feel safe.
I'm wondering if maybe the thing Rod was talking about would work. The one where the client pictures the child's fear and feelings of betrayl after one incident. Then you talk to the child, comforting her and telling her that her that she *is* loved over and over until she starts to feel calmer.
It's something that sounds like it *should* work, or at least cause no harm.
Big hugs
