PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSISTANCE - INB4 Attention whore
Hi, I've just read a few lines of the book called Instrumental by James Rhodes and I share some of the conducts and conceptions about how I see my partners like whores, and my tendency towards crying (or doing an ugly face*) while I feel sexual pleasure.
I started thinking of hypnosis, because my memory is good and clear since I'm 3 or 4, but I can't figure out when of where the hypothetical rape or abuse happened.
I would appreciate suggestions or further assistance very much. Thanks.
*I'm not ugly. Actually I'm someone that without traumas could have been a pretty well accepted product of society.
My English is poor, I'm Spanish. I'll do my best since this thread is mostly for my own help.

Don't. In a situation like this, the only thing hypnosis can do for you is give you false memories. If something traumatic happened to you and you are shutting the memory out, it's very unlikely you will get it back. At least, not the truthful version.
If you need therapy, then instead of trying to uncover a memory which may or may not exist or be true, the therapist has to focus on the actual issue.

Yeah man, hypnosis is bullshit honestly. You need to get to the root cause of what is making you feel this way.

This is very true. I remembered an event on my own and I can't be %100 certain the abuse happened. Had I been with a professional who was trying to provoke a memory I would trust it even less. Humans are very good at hearing what we "want" to hear. In this case, you expect to remember trauma, so you come up with a past abuse or rape to "explain" why you are they way you are. Go to therapy to move forward not to look back.
Creo que la hipnosis puede ser peligrosa, a mi no me gusta.
Yo preferiría ir a terapia y seguir un proceso que pueda controlar, me han dicho que durante la hipnosis eres consciente de lo que se va diciendo durante la sesión pero aún así me asusta mucho. También me parece ponerle un parche al problema y no tratarlo en profundidad.
Si te decantas por la terapia tampoco es fácil encontrar a un buen psicólogo/a con en que te entiendas (que esto no te desaliente jaja) y tienes que tener en cuenta el tipo de terapia, descubrir si te va bien el psicoanálisis o la terapia cognitivo-conductual.
Trabaja en ello con paciencia, todo va a salir bien.
Disculpa por escribirte en castellano, sería interesante que otras personas pudieran comentar mi opinión pero era más fácil así jaja
