Sufferer Hello I'm New :)

Polly we don't concern ourselves with the severity, of the trauma, but the lasting effects it has on you.
Unresolved trauma is unresolved trauma, and our minds get caught in this cycle of revisiting the trauma over and over again causing us all kinds of grief.

So don''t consider your trauma as minor compared to others, because you are still suffering the effects of it, and we all share that misery.

Welcome to the forum and expect to meet some really good people here that will offer good support.

I logically know traumas can't be compared and shouldn't be but I can't help my feelings. I guess it's all part of the minimising that my main abuser manipulated me with. Need to work on that. But it is helpful to have it validated.

I could have written that when I first came here. It's unpleasant learning to accept how bad ones trauma actually was. Take it slowly and gently.

Welcome :)
