What does corroborate mean? And what is text based role play??

I'm so lost guys..


To corroborate is to compare or check facts with someone else

Text based roleplay is the great-grandfather of RPGs. Basicly one types out what they are "doing" or saying, and others type out their responses. Kinda like the animal alters thread.

but overall, i know the feelings are real, just not so much the images at times.


Oh, I understand your concern. It's a valid concern.

One of the things I read about memories and "confrontation" is to understand the reasons for confronting a perpetrator. Why? Because many times an abuser will not say "yes I did it", will not say either: "I'm sorry". So it's important to understand why confronting an abuser. To search for validation? which they might not give, or to back up ourselves, and tell them "I know what you did, and I will not stay silent. I am empowered." There may be other reasons. To prevent someone else to being hurt, etc.

So in your case, memories don't have to be used for confronting someone else, but to help process and validate the feelings you have regarding somethings.
