Perhaps you misunderstand what your counsellor said to you. Any truly qualified licensed counsellor knows that there is no expiry date on how long the pain of abuse lasts. If that's what you're hearing from this counsellor, then it's time to change who you're seeing. Counselling or therapy is all about sharing memories, and then in a safe place, sharing the emotions attached to those memories. If it isn't a safe place, then trust isn't there and the client can't bring forth what needs to be brought forth. It takes as long as it takes. Having said that, the counsellor isn't the one who does the work; the client does. If you don't open up and be honest, the counsellor can't help. It's a two-way street. The tools and resources you learn through counselling is something that happens as you make progress through your sessions. So if you're being honest and open, and you're getting outright statements (not perceived messages, mind you) that you "should be over it by now", it's time to find another more qualified counsellor or therapist. You CAN heal from this, Alexandra, with the right kind of help. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
