Now when I go outside or sometimes inside the house as well I get in this condition where I feel like people are aware of my thoughts and can see my thoughts and can see through me basically. This is really traumatizing because I feel they know shameful stuff about me. And nothing helps.... except taking 10 or 12 sleeping pills to make me really drowsy so that the cycle of the thoughts are broken.
Now when I go to a therapist I wana talk about trauma but I feel like the therapist is judging me because it is about sexual incidents and talking about them in front of my family. I feel judged or I feel the therapist is getting uncomfortable.
I talked to a therapist today and she sounded really loud and insensitive, now I say that because she did sound like that. But just talking to her on the phone I now have negative thoughts about her and I am so sensitive that I am predicting that she is going to be loud and overbearing.
How did you find your therapist and how did you cope with being too sensitive?

All of my therapists were female
They all sucked.
All they wanted to do is take my money
& tell me how men think and act.
I have suffered a lot of sexual
abuse. Most of it as a child.
I began to also have Holocaust nightmares
at age 13. They have lasted 30 years.
Have you tried searching for a therapist that has
the same spiritual / religious/ beliefs as you do?
I have been in therapy for about 1.5 yrs now
with my Rabbi. He is also a licensed therapist.
He has been able to get the nightmares to stop.
I am very sensitive. I feel like my PTSD is like
living in a war zone. No one has been able to help
me,heal like he has. I feel that it was the spiritual
aspect that had been missing, prior to all of
my other therapy sessions.
