Don't do it. I had a therapist do it. It was
not rape, but he had tried to commit suicide
by setting himself on fire. It made me feel as
if he needed something that I could not offer
him and it was similar to my pain only in that
it was pain, and it was confusing to me since
I was trying to not stuff my own pain. His was
already all over his body in scars. I sort of
resented being put in the position to validate
him and while he was trying to get me to share
mine, all I could think of was mine could not
touch his and what was the point...in addition,
in the aftermath, I was aware that I was paying
cash for him to vent to me about his suffering.

Also, when you have stuffed something that you
are prepared to pay to get help to excavate, it
is disingenuous to have someone else say they
know how you feel. Or at least I found it a bit
offensive.

Just my 2 cents...

blessings,
Zoe
