I've been seeing a PTSD therapist for over a year now, and I'm just getting to a point emotionally where I'm stable enough to talk about the CSA I experienced at my brother's hand. I saw my T last Monday, and I started to talk about the very basics leading up to the abuse (where I was born, where I lived, etc) and it went really well. I have DID, so normally I dissociate horribly when discussing the abuse or childhood in general, but I didn't zone out even a little, which was great!

I see her again next Monday. She's already told me that I don't have to talk about anything I don't want to, but that's not what I'm worried about. I am...convinced that while what happened to me sucked, it was not nearly as bad as some people have been through, so I have nothing to complain about. I don't know if this is just my dad's stoicism/stiff-upper-lip mentality showing through or what, but I can see how it might get in the way of therapy. I'm torn between getting help and just burying it cause I'm probably making a big deal out of something that wasn't that bad.

Any suggestions?
