I realize now that I can see what I wrote that I would probably be equally pissed by the later because it would feel like that normalizing thing therapists do, and risk feeling dismissed.
I guess I cannot be pleased in this matter.

I think what would bug me is the use of the word 'trigger'.
Else, even if it was discussed as something trigger-y but without actually using the word trigger, I'd be totally down with that.
I am weird about words that way though.
Oh, and in terms of therapists trying to say that it's a reasonable response blah blah -- that s h i t drives me up.the.wall.
Current T for some reason seems to think that using herself as an example (so, she'd say "I'd have done / felt the same") is supposed to help me although I have no idea why.
