Anyone have experience with going into therapy and not having to go in detail about past trauma. I can give context but I don’t want to go through each and every detail. Talking about details kept me stuck in the loop with my previous psych. It was exhausting. I’m thinking way too much tonight, I need to find a new psych but I’m so scared to start all over again. I am also afraid the new therapist will expect me to talk about it all when my mind refuses. I’ve had too many bad experiences, it has caused me to shut down

Hi @IceSkater@Spirit_Healer and @tyme hope you are all doing well 💖
Im waiting for the doctors appointment later this afternoon. Not feeling terribly good, eating was hard with a sore face, probably a sinus infection. I have been reflecting upon myself lately, trying to figure out whether I’m Ace or traumatised. Though trauma is the reason behind my anxiety, so I’m confused

@creative_writer Oh no :((( hope they’re able to find a solution quickly.
It’s really hard when the trauma is linked to physical sensations, I have some ‘ghost pain’ that flashes now and then that has been there since the traumatic event.
Yep hypervigilance is a big part of my PTSD challenges.

Re: Therapy without talking about trauma details
@IceSkater I do hope they have a solution, I’ve been sick for at least two weeks now.
I get ghost sensations, it happens so suddenly, sometimes it lasts for a while too. It eventually goes away. My flashbacks are body based. Hyperviligiance is a significant part of PTSD. I am very cautious around people. I am also afraid of being triggered too
