Hopefully
MyPTSD Pro
Honestly I’m not sure after 6 sessions her reaction is ok tbh, any time I’ve heard of a T have an e...
It's not been my experience with other T's but that doesn't necessarily mean it was wrong that she is like that, but I do want to be cautious. What she read this week were some of my more vivid memories, they were very short, often 1 or 2 words but it would have given her a good sense of what went on, although all negative which maybe in hindsight I should have given a better balance, not everyday of my childhood was bad. Prior to this she had very vague details, although as a sexual abuse and violence charity that is a big element of it which we obviously both know.
She seemed very respectful of what I wanted her to do having read it and seemed more than able to go into more details or to leave it but acknowledge what it said, she was really careful of me not wanting to feel having shared it was going to be pushed aside. I felt really overwhelmed and couldn't say anymore about those memories but I hope next week will be easier. We still have a fairly productive session but it just didn't involve the telling of the memories.
I'll see how next week goes, how I feel and how she works with me.
