The fact you have this big reaction against it, is communication from inside you. Your protective element perhaps kicking in to save you from the emotional pain of delving into your childhood in this way?I get it. I have done that too. I don't know if my denial is the same as yours, but it comes in so many different forms. The most subtle one, for me, is not questioning at all all the 'funny' stories my mum tells from our childhood. For decades I and everyone went along with how funny they are, and laugh and joke. But actually they are not funny, but abusive. And the fact she thinks they are funny, is abusive in itself. So it's that total brainwashing into seeing my childhood through her lense, rather than mine. Powerful stuff to process. It's not surprising I had so much resistance to doing that. That may reasonate or not. But I do think it's worth unpicking your reaction to T's suggestion.</blockquote>
