Realisation - It's like I have only realised the timing of it all now.

I've been thinking about what I want to write up for therapy. I've already wrote a lot up, I'm doing my best to be more open. So I've wrote about childhood, my ex, little ones dad and ED stuff. A thought I had last night was something that was happening when I 15/16....and had the thought "wow, was it really going on that long" and I don't even know how I've just realised that. From 9 (poss younger) up until I left high school, but maybe longer. It's like I have only realised the timing of it all now

Those kinds of realizations are uncomfortable. Glad you have your T to process it with.

I understand that realizations like that can have a big impact. I experienced some level of abuse most of my life. I know that I went through a time, when I finally accepted how fully my life had been impacted, I felt that I'd always be in some sort of abusive relationship or mentally unwell. How has this realization impacted you?
