Not sure if I'm ready

My therapist thinks I really need to start talking about my sister. I never do. Only the day she was killed. I rarely talk about her when she was alive because it hurts to much. But he feels it's is important for me to do this. I've pretty blocked out any good memories of her. I never think of them. I only think back to the that day! I just don't know if I can do this. He's not forcing me or anything it's just a recommendation that he thinks will help.

This was a major reason why I stopped going to therapy because the main source of my trauma was the one thing I couldn’t talk about and every time we did talk about it it would send me on a fucking spiral and it just became too much but from my understanding it’s what’s needed to come to terms with the trauma to put it behind you. Maybe take it slow? Maybe try and if it’s too much be honest with your therapist. 🤗

@MyMonstersAreReal thankfully he is pushing this on me. We start each season and he asks do you want to talk about her, I say yes or no. If I say no we talk about other things. I'm very lucky to have found him. He's the best therapist I've had so far.
