Just that, really.
I had an assessment for therapy recently and the therapist asked a question with specific words in it describing the kind of trauma I have experienced and I felt like I couldn't cope with her saying it. I felt really overwhelmed and almost frozen. I did manage to write it down once though. I don't know if that makes it even more strange that I feel like I can't cope with people saying it.
I don't know if this is a common problem so am just trying to find out whether it is, or whether it is more unusual?
It's like I am so avoidant I can't even hear the words. I can't say them myself, I can't hear someone say them, especially not in relation to myself. It just triggers so much shame and fear.
