I don't have children, or live in a basement.

You are such an amazing writer, with so much knowledge about what's going on inside people. Reading your posts I keep saying "wow". If you are not in a mental health field you should be, you would be so helpful to so many people with your kindness and understanding. I want a counselor like you Have any twins living in NC?

You know it might be a good idea for me to make a trauma time line, as best as I can remember. Maybe that would give me a better idea of where this may have started and where to lead the T, or should I lead the T? I may have given my last T too much info, it may have overwhelmed her as it does me seeing it in writing. So maybe if I go see another T I will just answer what she asks. Is that the right way to look at this?

It would be nice to have a counselor, who specializes in CPTSD, to make a client/patient/customer (CPC)101, to making a meaningful and productive session. To hear from the counselor's POV what they would like for the (CPC) to bring to them, or not bring to them. What would be most helpful for the counselor and what is not. Or at least this would help me.

Maybe I need to type this up and hand it to the counselors I talk to I asked my last T what she wanted to know and it seemed to frustrate her. I typed up pretty much my life history and gave it to her, though we didn't talk much about it and it was a painful time for me to put that in writing and it seemed so unimportant to her. I'm glad it's in writing now so I don't have to do that again.
