My exT told me that he was imaging it, that's why I thought that maybe your T does it as well but of course you'll know that only if she tells you...

Yes, I agree that not talking about it doesn't help - I practised that for many years
But I just wanted to "warn" you from talking too fast/much about it - it also doesn't help... When I realized that my exT was interested in my story and he wanted to hear some details - I gave him some (just three small episodes but still)... During the whole day, I felt great (maybe because I haven't had told anyone before) but from next day... The whole month after was just a disaster (okay maybe also because my exT had no idea about the trauma work but I'm not sure if it was the real reason).
Maybe it is also the reason why my current T said that now I shouldn't tell her any details... And she's very experienced in trauma work, I guess she knows that it would only cause more problems. She said that first I have to be very stable, so no problems with sleeping, eating, working, no nightmares etc. And only when I am stable we'll start "real" trauma work... Maybe when your T realized how taugh iyour experience is, also decided to slow down?

I know exactly how annoying is wanting to talk while T doesn't want to listen.... But I hope that our Ts know whate they are doing
