People, even therapists, sometimes just don't get it.
the trauma has changed our brains....i can feel it everyday.........

another good one; "At some point, you just have to put it in a container and close the lid."
I'm dating a man, part time therapist, part time woodworker/artist..........He is normally being extremely sensitive due to my history, sexually and with how he is building trust wth me...............Boy, I ran after the 2nd date, but then decided to give it another try, because he seems like a good man..........but i'm a little scared. Seeing my T today to talk about it.
Any advice? On the one hand, it's comforting to have someone with me who 'gets it' due to his education, on the other hand..........I don't think anyone could get this lifetime of trauma and reabuse I've lived and what it's done to my brain and body. I want to risk again, but I sure don't want to hear any of these remarks anymore...........they really hurt.
