I don't think there will a be another run through of this (what we are doing is not a re-experiencing or exposure therapy), but I do want to ask my T what he thinks of my question and saying it out loud. During the trauma protocol we were doing, there was quite a bit that was internal, i.e. T didn't ask me to say everything out loud... "think of a time when... think of how you felt then..." So I wasn't asked to verbalize everything.

I do think I expressed the words silently, talking to this person in my head. And I did cry. If I had tried to speak the words aloud, I would not have been able to say them as I totally would have disintegrated.
I will ask my T about what you said about the value in having a witness to my words. Thanks, Sannah.
