In reply to Tampons - csa trigger - sorry for being so frank, posted by littleone on November 21, 2004, at 15:11:44
First - you should be able to tell your therapist anything without worrying about his feelings. But I agree that it would be hard to describe how certain things feel. Ultimately though, this is less significant than the fact that you find it so upsetting. THAT he will totally understand.
Practically speaking-- try using smaller tampons and changing them often, you won't be so dry. Also, you can use "glide" applicators to keep you more comfortable.
Maybe talking to yourself about the fact that you are choosing to use these, you are in control and this is not a re-enactment of previous abuse would help too.
I'm sorry things are so difficult. I hope your therapist can help.
