Hi people who sit on here (the real 'experts'), my counsellor has finally got the message and what to do about it. My assaulters have left me with PTSD, hence being on this site. She feels i have suffered mental torture by them and has asked me to write some sort of sexual experience diary, each time my husband and i have sex, but i am not comfortable talking about this, so how do i write it? Please help!

    Sounds like about the best advice. Journaling is quite therapeutic so I'd say go for it! If you're worried about detail, just

    refrain from writing names in your journal or go w/nicknames. You could also go with writing in 3rd person vs. 1st person

    which is yourself and partner. So treat it like writing a short story in 3rd ('she' / 'he' only liked to be touched etc).,

    Hope that helps to some degree & you can get started on the journal-journey! 😃

      Why didn't i think of that it's a good idea. I just have been told sex is taboo so i am not mention it. I find it so hard to talk about.
