My story is boring and long, but I'm interested in finding out if babblers believe that someone who experienced csa can ever really be healed.
Here's what I mean. I know that if a child doesn't attach to a primary caretaker very early in life, they may never be able to recoup that primary experience. I know others can speak to this subject so much more eloquently than I can.
So this has me thinking. Can very young csa be healed later in life? Our personalities and core beliefs are formed so early, is it possible for us to change them? Can "reframing" or any type of psychotherapy ever make up for what was so distorted for some of us (OK, me) at such a young impressionable age?
Or is the goal to just find a way to live with it. To not have it run my life, but to accept it in some way and move on. But can the core beliefs that I developed about myself as a result of the csa ever change? Or can we only hope to change how we feel about ourselves today. But how do I short circuit those awful feelings I have about myself because of the csa? The csa shaped how I view myself and now I'm wondering if it's ever possible to change that.
