T suspected pretty early on that there was some trauma in my life... He would ask leading questions (looking back at them)but for a long time waited for me to say anything. Finally, during a "emergency" appointment he flat out asked me if there had been incidents in past and I admitted to it then, but did not go into details. I think, when they think the details are important, they will ask. If not, to lead a client down that road before he or she is ready could be bad news.

I am assuming you have told some kind of professional about your trauma since you have the dx of ptsd??
