I appreciate all the different perspectives here, thank you. I definitely don't know what my T meant when she said that, and it is something I plan to ask her about if and when I talk to her again. When we have talked about trauma, in general or specific terms, it has been as 3rdtime says, the stuff that gives us PTSD symptoms. So, I took what she said yesterday to mean that I was creating or causing that kind of trauma. I would love to have her explain to me whether that's accurate or not.

The other thing she said is that she changed her mind about how to interact with me based on the fact that I am still "checking out" (her term) as much as I am. I don't understand that, because I was just assaulted in August and it seems to ME that could explain a resurgence of PTSD symptoms like dissociating. Yes/No?
