In reply to Any ideas on how to work through csa *trigger*, posted by pinkeye on June 9, 2005, at 13:13:22
that book can be a difficult book to get through. i don't like it, personally. i know lots who do.
usually people with csa have split the "good" dad and the "bad" dad, which is what makes it so hard to feel one thing if you are in the other mode. that is normal. it takes time.
you can only feel what you feel when you want to feel it. take it slow. sometimes when you can't do it directly, you have to go in a back door. perhaps going at it directly trying to get you to be mad at your dad isn't going to work. perhaps you need to get at it in a 'round about way. that is often very effective. metaphor therapy works well in that situation.
