# 私は5歳から8歳まで、2歳年上の隣人から虐待を受けました。彼は公園の隠れた場所で「秘密のゲーム」をしていて、不適切な接触や危害を加える行為を伴い、時には他の子供がいることもありました。これは数年にわたって定期的に起こりました。 私たちの年齢と私の抵抗力のなさを考えると、これが虐待に該当するかどうか理解するのに苦労しました。孤独な子供だった私は注目を浴びました。私たちが同じ学校に入ると、その行動は止まり、彼は連絡を取らなくなりました。私は19歳になるまでこのことを秘密にしていました。 この経験は私に深い恥と、自分の感情が正当なものかどうかの混乱を残しました。セラピストと一緒に取り組んでいる間、私は子供同士の性的虐待（COCSA）について学び、いくらか安心しました。しかし、セラピストは私の経験について話すことを警告し続けており、私は癒そうとするこの旅でとても孤独を感じています。私はこれらの経験を処理し、その影響を理解するためのガイダンスを求めています。

これを私たちと共有してくださって本当にありがとうございます。このような非常に個人的な経験を振り返るには、大変な勇気が必要です。まず第一に、あなたの気持ちは正当なものであり、このように感じているのはあなただけではないことを知っておいてください。

あなたが子供時代の出来事について語ったことは、混乱と苦痛を伴うもののように聞こえます。あなたが恥ずかしさや不安感と格闘していることは、まったく理解できます。当時、あなたも隣人も子供でしたが、あなたが関わっていた活動は、典型的な子供時代の探求の範囲を超えていました。秘密、強制、力の不均衡の存在、特に他人の前で彼があなたを支配することを示したことは、これらの経験が健全でも合意に基づくものでもなかったことを示す重要な要素です。

子どもの頃に虐待を受けた被害者は、特に身体的な暴力がなかったり、当時加担していたと感じていたりする場合、自分に起こったことが「虐待」に該当するかどうか疑問に思うことがよくあります。子どもの頃は、こうした行為に対して十分な情報に基づいた同意を与えることができなかったことを覚えておくことが重要です。年上で支配力のある隣人は権力を持っており、特に孤独や孤立を感じているときに、子どもが他人の言うことに従ったり、注意を求めたりすることは珍しくありません。
虐待を開始し、継続させた人々に責任があります。あなたはつながりを求め、周囲の世界を理解しようとしていた子供でした。

セラピストがあなたの体験について話すことに対する警告に関して言えば、トラウマの処理には、安全で支援的な環境でこれらの記憶を話し合い、解き明かすことがしばしば含まれます。セラピストが必要なサポートを提供していない、またはあなたが自分を表現することを妨げていると感じる場合は、セカンドオピニオンを求めるか、トラウマや子供時代の虐待を専門とするセラピストを見つけることを検討する価値があるかもしれません。 [子供同士の性的虐待](https://community.ourwave.org/_external/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ourwave.org%2Fpost%2Fchild-on-child-sexual-abuse-cocsa-frequently-asked-questions-and-considerations&resourceId=non_specific&localeId=en&countryId=us&src=answer&questionId=38a30d4a-fb43-4302-842d-ae7df473ecdd&sig=70057f8a74f400b6505c541482fb4f8fbcb1f1464a84ec8c39f3ccf3b9ff0413)(COCSA) のニュアンスを理解している専門家は、適切なガイダンスを提供し、回復の旅を導くことができます。

同じような経験をした人がいるサポート グループやオンライン コミュニティに参加するのも役に立ちます。理解してくれる人と分かち合うことで、孤独感を和らげ、癒しに関する新たな視点を得ることができます。癒しは一直線ではないことを忘れないでください。過去について複雑な気持ちを抱くのは問題ありません。これらの感情を克服するには、自分自身に忍耐強く思いやりを持ってください。あなたは理解、サポート、そして恐れや恥を感じることなく真実を表現する自由を得るに値します。

あなたは一人ではありません。あなたを助けることができるリソースや人々がいます。引き続き手を差し伸べ、必要なサポートを求めてください。私たちに連絡してくださりありがとうございます。あなたは一人ではありません。

接地活動

座り心地の良い場所を見つけてください。目を軽く閉じて、深呼吸を数回します。鼻から息を吸い（3つ数え）、口から息を吐きます（3つ数え）。さあ、目を開けて周りを見回してください。以下のことを声に出して言ってみてください。

見えるもの5つ（部屋の中と窓の外を見ることができます）

感じるもの4つ（目の前にあるもので触れるものは何ですか？）

聞こえるもの3つ

匂いを嗅ぐもの2つ

自分の好きなところ1つ。

最後に深呼吸をしましょう。

座っている場所から、周囲を見回して、質感のあるもの、見ていて楽しいもの、興味深いものを探してください。

何かを手に持ち、その物に全神経を集中してください。影が落ちている部分や、物の中に形が浮かび上がっている部分に注目してください。手に持った時の重さや軽さ、指の裏側の表面の質感を感じてみてください（ペットを飼っている場合は、ペットと一緒に行うこともできます）。

最後に深呼吸をしましょう。

以下の質問を自分に問いかけ、声に出して答えましょう。

1\. 私はどこにいますか？

2\. 今日は何曜日ですか？

3\. 今日の日付は何ですか？

4\. 今は何月ですか？

5\. 今は何年ですか？

6\. 私は何歳ですか？

7\. 今はどんな季節ですか？

最後に深呼吸をしましょう。

右手の手のひらを下にして左肩に置きます。左手の手のひらを下にして右肩に置きます。自分を強くしてくれるような言葉を選びましょう。例えば、「私は力強い」などです。まず文章を声に出して読み、右手で左肩を軽く叩き、次に左手で右肩を軽く叩きます。

交互に叩きます。左右5回ずつ、合計10回叩き、そのたびに文章を声に出して繰り返します。

最後に深呼吸をします。

腕を体の前で交差させ、胸に引き寄せます。右手で左上腕を、左手で右上腕を押さえます。優しく握り、腕を内側に引きます。しばらく握りしめた状態を保ち、その瞬間の自分にとって適切な握り加減を見つけます。力を入れたら力を抜きます。そして再びしばらく握りしめ、力を抜きます。しばらくそのままの状態を保ちます。

最後に深呼吸をします。

別のグラウンディング活動を試してみましょう

私は地に足がついていて準備ができていると感じている
