Okay, now that I have started discussing my traumatic past with my therapist, a new fear has arisen. What if my therapist doesn't think my trauma is valid? I mean, what if I tell her everything and she thinks, "Your experience really pales in comparison to some of the others I've heard." What would I do? Now I'm honestly starting to wonder if what happened to me was even traumatic. But, if it wasn't traumatic, then why do I feel like this? Why am I having the problems that I continue to encounter? Why do I dissociate at the drop of a hat? What about the flashbacks and the nightmares? Somebody, please offer some insight.
