Often, people have to work on developing good coping skills in therapy, before they do the trauma work. Maybe you can ask T if she thinks you can handle the trauma work now, and if not, what you can work on to prepare.

Good luck!
I am not worried about feeling those things, I already am. . I text my T (not sure if you read my other thread) and she told me to stop the fu--ing victim sh-- because it is so not true....

I don't think I consider myself a victim still but yes I was the victim of a rape and I survived it.
