Thank you so much for posting this. I'm sorry you have had trauma and also have PTSD ... My sister also has PTSD like myself and she is afraid to get a therapist b/c she thinks they will not believe the amount of abuse and all the types of abuse her and I went through. I will show her this. I have had a few therapists... it seems they don't truly 'get' it sometimes, they nod and do not offer real tips for someone to heal from horrible acts. But my new one seems to understand a bit more. I also read recently that physical violent THREATS are as scary and traumatic as actual assault. I had not really processed that fully but it is TRUE. I wish you many positive thoughts today and ty again Glizzie

@Coralmist it took me almost 5 or 6 therapists I think to find one that’s for me. Trauma is a huge thing and it’s something that we need to deeply discover before we do anything else. It doesn’t define us but all is take is listening and a different understanding approach. It took me years to get into therapy
