[TW: abuse] Can you really feel the pain from back then?

tldr. Yeah. You can. TW everything, don't read this seriously

I have a part that remembers exactly what it feels like to be raped by an adult man at around seven years old. It went on forever. And then vomiting afterwards. Which also went on forever. And that act was repeated roughly weekly to at least monthly for four years.

That part took instance after instance of abuse afterwards and is part of why for most of my life, I thought my abuse only extended to fondling, as if that somehow made it more okay.

That part is now my biggest reason for needing grounding techniques and why I fear flashbacks. Becoming a seven year old experiencing that, isn't conducive to normal life. And if I get stuck, I'm STUCK.
