This really stands out for me: "In fact, some trauma survivors are able to tell their stories easily, but in a dissociated manner." There are times when I can talk about the ritual abuse, or think about it, and it almost does not really seem to phase me. In fact, it tends to make me wonder about the validity of what I now remember. Then there are those times when I really start to get in touch with the dissociated emotions and find myself choking up. On the one hand, I long to be able to talk to someone about this...yet...talking makes it more real. Talking does tend to bring the dissociated parts of the memories back together. I don't want to focus on the negative, but I do want to be able to share what I know and work through the trauma of it. Thanks so much for sharing this! Wow!
