Talking with an expert about adults recovering from childhood sexual abuse, who have no or dim memories of the abuse, she mentioned these triggers (you'll probably get the connection if I haven't made it clear): * Lie on your back/stomach only? * Any special physical behaviors? * Places you avoid? * Things/foods you detest (eg. sour milk - given to an uncared-for baby by abusive parents) * Aversion to bananas - or any kind of food? * Special routines when you go to bed - covered/uncovered etc. * Face the door or not when you're asleep? * Can't stand in queues? Panic when in crowded places (eg. a full aeroplane)? Any others? -- Shalom/Salaam/Pax! Rowland Croucher
