Hi Ad Intra,

I don't have PTSD either, but I do struggle with trauma and have also had EMDR sessions, although they worked only partially.

I do feel my trauma is real, but I don't feel it is valid. Absolutely not valid. My trauma is related to sexual abuse in my teens, but I feel it isn't valid because I didn't struggle, I just froze. Plus, I question if I do actually remember things well. Maybe I was in for it, too. Maybe I asked for it.
