I don't see therapy as "healing" anything for me - I hope it can help me feel less crazy than I do because I have no reason for it. I don't see that I have a wound or something broken and for me the word healing just does not fit. I don't really consider that I have an abusive background or trauma although there was some cs(a?) and physical force/correction employed as a means of control of me as a child. The therapist has described some of the games my mother played as sadistic but they do not seem all that bad as I remember them.
