I'm going in circles with where my session led me yesterday. I know T thinks there is more to talk about what I'm going to call "small traumas". I think that may be a technical term, but I'm not sure.

I know that I was told EMDR was good for those too, but I don't like EMDR. So, how do you process trauma that's not major? I don't have trouble discussing these incidents. I don't know what more can be done. T wants me to feel more, like when the child was scared last week. Is that how to process trauma whether it's small or major?

I can't relate to the trauma work many of you are doing, and I am always in awe of your strength. But for me, it's this small stuff that I know affected me. I just don't know how T is going to help me. I think it's a valid question for an email this week because I'm feeling like nothing is going to help if it's just "small traumas".
