I've met thousands of therapists and survivors. I'm studying to be a therapist myself, and as I've shown, I have no reason to love the extreme feminist wing of the sexual abuse recovery movement. The conspiracy doesn't exist. I'm certain that no one implanted mine-but then again, I recovered most of my memories without any professional help at all. It is flatly impossible to manufacture severely traumatic memories as easily as the FMSF charges.
Most survivors recover their memories through laborious, hard work that is excruciatingly painful.
No one I've ever known wanted the agony of realization, the palpable physical sensations, the nightmare of emotions that is an inescapable part of the process. No one wanted to lose their family, their inheritances, and some of their friends. No one wanted to voluntarily inflict the stigma of being a rape victim on their reputations and public images. Because I was raped. Critics charge that what I claim is merely a way to blame my own dysfunctions on someone else, rather than moral and ethical failings in my character.
