Poll Do You Have Secrets About Your Trauma That You've Not Divulged To Your Therapist?

I actually went to see 2 different Psychologists, both women and both so called "experts" on anxiety disorders.

Neither has really given me any practical advice. They are good listeners. But I don't need a friend, I need a Doctor. I have friends and family that listen to me. I need someone to give me the best possible course of action to recover with helpful, practical advice. I have told many people my story. Opening up doesn't seem to relieve the anxiety.

I was orginally going to select no as my therapist knows all but (and not sure you can say this is secerts) there are many details he doesn't know and I just told him a punishment he didn't know happened about a month ago. There is so much to my past that its not possible to tell every detail.

Also, there are much more embarrasung things that happened that he honestly doesn't need to know a ls it won't change therapy.

So I selected yes 6+

But, he does know all that he needs to know and all that happens today. I am very open and honest with my therapist and I think it should be that way. Just my opinion.

I told my therapist about a disturbing incident from my past and she gave me a look like "ewwwww" or that she found what I said shocking.

Time to find a new therapist?

I'm afraid of hearing myself and acknowledging what was done. I have a difficult time with avoidance and like a previous post 55 minutes is sort time especially when it takes 30 minutes to bring up topic.

I think I also feel like I still am to blame. I hate flashbacks and the out of control feeling they bring.
