It's one of the most important things for a trauma therapist to do with her client. If there aren't people in the client's immediate life, there are groups, skill building groups, NAMI groups etc. I wish she'd dig a bit deeper in this area to help you with this because doing the deeper work while she isn't consistently available is not a great idea.

Thank you for understanding, NAMI is a very good support network , she knows h is not supportive, and does not know about my c s a. My good friend knows me and I do trust her , we both process stuff with each other, but c s a stuff is not an everyday thing that you just sit down and suddenly start talking to a friend about while watching an episode of " Big Bang theory lol.
Some things need only be processed on a therapeutic environment . The impression I got from her was , that I went through two therapists, and had not disclosed enough c s a.
But she also knows , the style of therapy they were using, and t1 was not qualified to deal with c sa . And she was friends with t2 ,which explained to her that I had trust issues and I was making progress but then I shut down as soon as she told me she was leaving.
I told this t , I m trying my best I work hard in therapy I do all the homework , I'm very organized, I have a folder with all my notes topics, drawings, journals, paintings, and she agreed .
She still calls me avoidant, but not in a mean way. She wants my trust and more connection and closeness.
She wants me to incorporate the dynamic I had with t 2 into our sessions .
My plan for next session oct 29th idk but she wants open, I'm gonna give her open!!!!!!
