I don't know if this is just denial or me not being able to trust people but sometimes, I feel like my therapist is exaggerating how bad things are. She told me that I had profound PTSD. I keep telling myself it's not an actual diagnosis and that my PTSD isn't that bad. She keeps saying that what happened to me in my childhood was horrific, getting bullied in school must be horrible but I keep feeling like it wasn't that bad. I told her that I felt as if I shouldn't be so affected by it but she said anyone who has been molested would be affected because it was a violation of my privacy in the most brutal way. She has told me once that she always means what she says and that she's not just pretending but I find that really hard to believe. I can't accept that what happened to me was really as bad as she says it is. Sometimes, I feel like I shouldn't have PTSD and my symptoms aren't really that bad because I can hold down a job. Should I trust what she is saying?
