Hi Cheri,
I just wanted to say thank you for posting that. I keep thinking after all I've been through and knowing how many of my own symptoms have come up because of abuse, how many more people who buy these CDs must have also been abused and be having these symptoms because of it. Of course that doesn't mean everyone who has anxiety by any means has been sexually or in any way abused. It just means that how much more do these symptoms make sense for those of us who went through absolute panick and weren't ever able to process it very well. Lenore made another wonderful post on here I hope you can read, just type in "sexual abuse" in the topic search.
She also made the important suggestion of seeking psychological help. I've been to several counsellors but too afraid to really bring up the abuse. The method I'm trying now is EMDR which for me is very unobtrusive. Also you might find several books healing "The Courage to heal" is a good one, and Connie Brewers Christians healing from Childhood Sexual abuse lets you know you are not alone.
Also, CFe, thanks for that great metaphor.
PRS.
