Oh, if you find that you are just "not" ready for this group situation, you need to protect "you".

I can relate because when I came to PC and visited the Abuse forum, I felt "very uncomfortable" too. I had not even talked to my T about my history yet, actually I was even inbetween T's for a while.

I think that atmosphere would be easier for you if you had worked through this part of your life first with your T and you could provide "more support" and not be so bothered by others "needing to reveal" their histories. It is clear that when that happens they have gotten beyond where you are now.

Do you think it makes you feel "pressured" that you have to "reveal" as well?

Honestly?, I probably would have felt just like you in that kind of situation with "live" people. My husband had signed me up for a support group in my state that was a "live" group and when I saw my "real name" open to the public, I was severely triggered and I felt very violated and insisted he get me out of that group.

Maybe tell your T how you reacted. You have come such a "long" way, you need to make sure this is ok for "you".

Keep us informed,

We care about how you make out.
