Hearing their experiences can be so hard. It was worse than I ever imagined and he didn't even go into detail. I want to go back in time and murder the people who exploited him. It is hard to hear yet I know that he has gone through the worst. He is not just a t who learned from books alone.
It's good that your t recognized that her material may not have been appropriate at that moment. I completely agree that others stories bring out empathy while I am only self discusted with my own experiences.
