I think this was the case with me. I was resistant to the very word "trauma", to the idea that my FOO was not normal (from what I know now, I'm amazed I could ever doubt it), and I am a reader anyway; my T used this approach to get me to think concretely, write down my own experiences/feelings to compare to what I was reading, and pow, it hit me.
