Dr. Thomas Christian Stinnett M.D.'s Expert Contributions
I was sexually abused as a child and now as my marriage is approaching, I am beginning to freak out. What should I do?
I recommend that you see a therapist who specializes in EMDR. This form of therapy has been shown to be very effective in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This seems especially true for people who have experienced sexual trauma. It would also be beneficial if you and your future spouse were involved in couple’s therapy. This could facilitate communication, and help provide education to your future husband regarding the initial difficulties related to intimacy. There are medications which might also be helpful initially to reduce anxiety and intrusive thoughts. These are sometimes beneficial early in treatment, but the mainstay will be the work that you do in psychotherapy. I wish you much success. TCS READ MORE
