Hi everyone
Some of you already know that I had memories 4 yrs ago of being sexually abused as a child between the ages of 9-12 by three different guys. I have been noticing lately that I am behaving, at times when in therapy, as a child. Tantrums, speaking and acting like a little girl. And it's this little girl that is screaming for love; screaming for a hug from her dad and wanting to be told that everything will be okay. At times it is frustrating because I know I am an adult but this child comes out almost every day.
It's embarrassing to put this in writing here but I am wanting some advice from others.
Has anyone had any inner child therapy with a counsellor/pyschologist/pyschiatrist? Has anyone had therapy with sand play or art therapy?
I've heard that sand play is quite effective for inner child therapy. If anyone has had this type of therapy before I would be interested to hear from them.
Thanks
Jo
