I am getting ready to take the plunge and start writing out a trauma diary. I am anxious as hell about it but I feel like I am just marking time right now in between appointments with my therapist. I need to get better. I want to be better now!
The first thing that is suggested that we write a point by point list of trauma we experienced. That I understand. The part that I am hanging up on right now is that there are things I did and ways I acted as a result of things that happened to me as a kid that I feel shame and guilt and anxiety over. They aren't really 'trauma' per se, but they ARE secrets and probably need to be worked through. Or do we just say to ourselves....'oh that is just because you were crying for help' or 'you didnt know any better because....'?
