re: #342 MandyManners

I remained an active victim of the man who raped me at gun-point for a while but, through hard work in therapy and elsewhere, I became a FORMER victim. Through EMDR, I was able to capture the repressed memories that precipitated the flashbacks that were at the core of PTSD.

It’s in the mind-set. I could’ve continued to cling to my status as a victim and become a perpetual victim but, I chose not to do so.

I still have my moments of anger and hatred but, they do not dictate me.

I’d just like to say that you are one terrific lady!
