My T generally doesn't minimize the difficult and traumatic things that I've been through. However, on Friday we talked about my parents' physical abuse toward me. I've talked about this in the past with two Ts who had really strong reactions of support to this (one had tears in her eyes when talked about being scared of being hit). But on Friday, I didn't feel like this T--whom I adore and have a GREAT relationship with--was as empathetic. So I wrote to her and she wrote back:

I wrote some about the hitting and discipline in my journal and what scared, lying, etc. parts they created in me. I didn't feel from you as strong of a reaction as I felt from exT1 and exT2 when I talked about this, but maybe you've just heard this a lot before.... (I'm not sure what part of me is saying this...)

Her response: I AM APPALLED AT HOW YOUR PARENT'S USED PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND ANGRY. SORRY IF I DIDN'T CONVEY THAT TOO YOU ENOUGH. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FRIGHTENED CONFUSED CHILD THAT GREW UP THINKING THAT WAS "NORMAL". THE FACT THAT IT OCCURS ALL TOO FREQUENTLY IN OUR WORLD DOESN'T MAKE YOUR EXPERIENCE LESS PAINFUL.

So, I would definitely echo others who say to check in...
