It is difficult to make a list, but i can see that it would be helpful. I might start to feel like my entire life has been a trauma, though.
I have worked on about four things in counseling. I talk and they listen. They give me some feedback. What helps me is sharing my truths with my counselor, admitting the dysfunctions, exposing my self loathing, and being heard, even feeling loved and admired by my counsellors at times. Through the process I gain power and self worth. Group therapy helped me to open up to myself. Meeting others with PTSD made me see myself more clearly.
I would do so many things differently, but I did the best I could. If I had done things differently, things could have been worse...who knows.
I have worked through a couple traumas. One I talked about in counseling (cancer), the other..no. They were both health related and life threatening. The one I didn't talk about has a big abandonment element, and too much for me to say to a counselor. I've overcome it because the person who basically left me to die (say they didn't know I needed help, yet I begged them to help, and wasn't listened to) does now have the capacity to care about my health and well being, and is always there for me.
Both these traumas still give me trouble, but I don't have PTSD from them now...?
