A t that is experienced with treating the effects of chronic trauma would never, ever say that. There are ts out there who are very experienced with this stuff and can help you heal from it. It s okay to ask about their experience in treating trauma when you call or an intake interview.

Thank you. I've been thinking all this while that I was being too sensitive and that I should just take my T's advice and move on with my life, but I always end up leaving therapy feeling down and alone. But I've been seeing my T for nearly two years and I've gotten quite comfortable with them.
The thing is, my T isn't bad. They're quite sympathetic and honestly is one of the nicest therapists I've had in my life. But I can't help but feel like they're tired of hearing about my problems because it's not terrible.
Trigger warning: CSA
Today I spoke about my CSA and my T said "You've been through a lot. But remember, it could have been worse." And then proceeded to ask me how I thought it could have been worse for me. Then they said "Every time you feel this way, remember that you have many things to be grateful for. Although what you went through was horrible, it could have been worse". I felt like throwing up after hearing that but I couldn't help but feel like my T could have been right and I'm just feeling too sorry for myself to realize it.
