I talked about this with my t yesterday. He said its probably about reenacting trauma. First there is the anticipation, then when we are there, we dissociate. I said, we talk to retain control, to not let the trauma happen again; it feels too close, too dangerous, to be with t. I thought it interesting how so many of us have the same experience, but come at it from so many different ways.
Thanks for this!
