Earlier this year, opened up about my history with CSA, bullying and physical abuse growing up to my T.

And I feel like it was pointless as all our sessions since then have been just me being reminded that "it could have been worse".

My T makes it sound like I chose to be traumatized and I'm choosing to be paranoid and anxious about certain things. And that I should be grateful things aren't worse.

However, they don't say it in a very direct and unsympathetic way. But that's pretty much been therapy since I opened up about my trauma. Sometimes I feel embarrassed talking about my emotions because someone else who's had it worse should probably be the one getting help, not me. But I don't know if that's how therapy is supposed to be and I'm just being sensitive OR if my therapist doesn't know how to deal with this.

Now I just need to make sure with you guys if that's how most T's deal with trauma?
