Ok I want or feel the strong need to discuss the victim and as my T calls it "Victim Sh--". My understanding is that if you have been the subject of a tauma eg. rape then you are a victim. That is what the police say right? Then there is the scenario where people say "they are acting like a victim" to someone that is just having a pity party. The question I have is let's aay you have been the victim of SA or something of the like and you have PTSD and are in therapy but have not completely processed your trauma yet are you then likely to revisit the state of being/feeling hopeless, worthless, empty, like a victim?? I also am aware that people don't like the term "victim" and prefer to use the word "survivor" which I can understand. Just wanting to know everyones thoughts, ideas, opinions, and questions on this. As you can see my T clearly hit a nerve with me.
