You absolutely need a different therapist. The only thing that helped my anxiety get better--I was having multiple panic attacks almost every day and had horrible GI symptoms that were ruining my health like you--was when I started being honest about my past and my therapist didn't try to squash it just because "it was in the past". You need someone who will let you process it. It can be a very long process, but it has to be done for it to get better. Not to mention a therapist should respect a client's wishes to keep their family as involved (or not involved) as they want--Unless you're planning on harming yourself or someone else obviously, but it doesn't sound like you are. I don't know how old you are or how much of a say you feel like you have in choosing a therapist with your parents and everything, but I would try to be assertive in this. And then like licketysplit said, once you're a legal adult try to start making your own choices that you feel like are in your best interest. It's easier said and done though, I know.
Thanks for this!
