Yeah, I do think that for me, it was so normal that I didn't realize it was bad.

I was both physically and emotionally abused, and although I assumed trauma talk would focus on the physical abuse, we have actually focused almost exclusively on the emotional abuse. I made the comment once that I didn't think it was "that bad" and that it shouldn't affect me as much as it has but my T said that emotional abuse is one of the most damaging forms of abuse.
