It is very common for someone with PTSD to be self absorbed so don't worry about it.
You DO have to be somewhat self absorbed to an extent because you will be paying attention to yourself and working with a therapist on how to slowly learn about how you have been effected and how to address your issues and learn new coping methods.
Remember what I said, try not to run everything together and let yourself get frantic.
There are going to be times in therapy where you will begin to see how things do connect and the important thing to remember is that what your therapy is about is not to make yourself erupt but to talk about your past and finally find ways to come to terms with it and learn from it and finally heal as well.
Your past will always be your past, no one can change it and it can be hard to look at but in therapy you will be validated for many things abusive people in your past never validated. It takes time to learn how to make boundaries you can be comfortable using and learning to look at people not as their servant or that you are less than, but to finally find the personal value you truely deserve, something you have not found yet. It takes time so plan on knowing up front that you are going to be taking a big time out to take care of you and heal and find positive ways to be around others as well.
