10 February 2018, (Wall Street International)* – There is much in the news these days that is, in fact, no news at all to women and to most men. The cauldron of sexual assault of women and sometimes men mostly by powerful men and, once in a while by a powerful woman, is boiling over and, thus impossible not to see.

Everyone can see the mess it is making as more and more (mostly) women come forward to say “Me too.” I do not want to ignore the experiences of young boys, also molested by adult men, but I also don’t want the experiences of women to disappear from view one more time.
There is not a single woman that I know who has not been sexually harrassed multiple times and I doubt that one exists, although I would be happy to meet her and learn her secret. I fear that her secret would be simply that she does not remember and shortly thereafter she would.

I can not tell you how many times I have heard these stories or sudden recollections in my therapy office. Nor can I tell you the many self-damaging techniques, such as cutting, anerexia, bulimia and sexual disorders, I have seen used to hide the memories.
