I was doing exposure work with my t today. Involving being physically close enough to my dad so that we could ride in the same car. I was really scared. She stood outside with me, and said, "I know there is abuse, but what is it that makes you so uncomfortable?" I have never considered my dad abusive. Yes he's said things that are very emotionally hurtful; things that I wont ever forget. But is that abuse? How can it be that she thinks its so bad that I was "abused" when I can't see it myself? I don't know what to think.
