Maybe your mum shouldn't had kids"
Hi, you told your therapist that you got upset/ triggered by your friend's comment that she doesn't like or want kids. Often, our feelings in the present time actually come from childhood or a past traumatic time. You said you didn't know why the comment upset you but your therapist is exploring with you the possibilities of it being from your own childhood.
