Hi guys,
Hope everyone is well.
My clinic wants me to start trauma focused CBT. I've done CBT before and found it reasonably helpful but it's mainly been depression symptom focused and hasn't been very in depth into the past.
I really want to give it my all but I'm really scared about the part that says "Trauma Narrative Development and Processing" and "Gradual Exposure." I have never talked about these things with anyone and I'm scarred that bringing it up will simply make my problems worse.
I have already have pretty severe reactions to therapy/diagnosis sessions that have touched on these things. The waiting list is three months so I have a lot of time to think/worry about this.
What have other peoples experiences been with this? Have you found TF-CBT helpful and is it worth going over everything again?
Hope everyone is well.
