In reply to circle of babble....'trauma' term, posted by B2chica on September 30, 2005, at 11:49:13
Hi B2chica,
i can totally relate to hating the terms- who wants to be a victim or have that in their past anyways. The first appt i had with my T i remember looking at the door and thinking why the heck would i see a T with 'trauma specialist' on the door. Accepting that whole idea is a really difficult thing, especially when there is so much that doesn't agree with being a victim or having a past like that. i remember how hard and unreal it was and still is sometimes. Even though there were flashbacks i didn't think that i belonged there. It was a scary place.
Even though it's difficult, try not to lose the distractions or give up anything that helps you cope. Life can still go on as ususal- you're ok.
Take care,
kerria
