I've been diagnosed as having PTSD but my T has never asked me about any traumas in my life. To be honest, she hasn't asked me that much that about myself or my past or anything else. I don't know if my T is going to ask me or if she's waiting for me to tell her. I just don't know if I have the courage to tell her but part of me wonders how I'm going to get better if I don't tell her. It's just that it's so hard to talk about this and I don't know if I'm ready to talk about it or if she's ready to hear it. So, I'm wondering if you've ever suffered from traumatic events like abuse, did your T ever ask you about it or did you have to tell him/her about it? Sometimes I think that because I was diagnosed with it, she must know that I've gone through something traumatic without me even telling her but I really don't know...
