So I have a lot of...junk in my past, specifically sexual abuse, that I have had to slowly accept and work towards sharing in therapy. All along, I was sure my therapist knew all about it before I ever said it. I thought I have a neon sign over my head. And it wasn't that I didn't know about it, its just I wasn't ready to accept a lot of it.
But part of the way I was able to tell her things is that I thought she already knew, so it wasn't surprising. Got to hand it to that lady, she doesn't flinch. Last session we were talking and I told her how I knew she knew from early on, and she assured me she didn't.
OMG! She really didn't. I did. I was projecting or being paranoid or something otherwise a little crazy. I feel kind of embarrassed that I did that, honestly. Kind of glad too, it made it easier to tell her. I just thought I was that easy to read. Maybe I got an open mind confused with knowing?
So I was wondering if this is a totally uncommon happening? Do other people feel like their Ts knew things only to realize they didn't?
