No @Lexi H I didn't mean it to imply that it's something 'taboo' or odd to disclose. I think it's an individual and personal decision. But for most, I would imagine, it's something we only share with those we trust most. But I guess it depends on the nature of your trauma too. Everyone's different of course. Our traumas are all different as are our unique responses to our traumas.
I feel I can share things on here that I may not have felt safe just yet or trust in my T to share it. I guess it reflects the trust I've built up here alone. Also, I would usually put a trigger warning on my posts if they could be potentially triggering but of course I keep it as unexplicit as possible. I don't think the details matter. My T tells me a lot - just talking is enough. I find it hard to talk about it face to face at all but that's just me! Still can't talk with my longterm partner about it! In fact, writing is how I've come to communicate it mostly though it's helping bridge the gap for me at least for now.
