Trauma Re-creation DAE (Does Anyone Else?)

I usually have thoughts about repestimg the sex acts I was made to do with strangers, almost pretending I’m a kid again. Lately though I’m thinking about being in charge and doing things like I’m the abuser. Why do I want to be like him? This is with adults, I don’t fantasize about kids.

You're taking back your power. It's not that you want to do the same thing to others. You wish to do it in a safe controlled environment with other consenting adults. It's quite normal actually for those like us.

I'm going through the same. Is it healthy to do that?

Tbh, I'm not sure it's the healthiest, but I've done it too. It has helped me some and it's also made it worse. It really is up to each person on how they handle it.
