I don't know if this is going to come out right, but here's what I want to say. When I post about my sessions, and how open I am with my T, and so on, people tell me how brave I am. I'm afraid that you will get the wrong idea. My issues are so insignificant compared to most of you that I feel guilty for writing about them and for getting support.

My T told me that the things I'm ashamed about are normal. I don't have a history of abuse to process, so I don't feel very brave at all. When I read your stories, I feel such admiration for all of you survivors of such horrendous situations in your past. I know that for you to tell your stories to your T and process trauma is amazingly difficult work. My work pales in comparison.

I just don't want anyone to feel bad because I can seemingly do this hard work and maybe you can't. I know I have my particular issues that are hard for me, like my attachment to my T, and that's why I post here. I hope that is reason enough. I don't want to come across as being better than anyone, either. I feel like I don't deserve all the praise I've been getting.
