2. If this group brings you any kind of help, comfort or sense of belonging, you belong for that reason.
Question:
Are you satisfied with his answer to you? Do you trust him?

Yes I am relieved by his answer. I thought maybe he was seeing more than I was. I do need a sense of belonging as I feel I do not belong or fit in well in "out there" and I get lost when I do not know where to post. In the complex PTSD section I have not seen anyone posting much about what we post about here.
I still have flashbacks as got triggered terribly last night by a horrible disgusting sound effect at the end of the rolling credits on a movie on Showtime. I can't even talk about it it is so triggering. I did however try T's containment over and over and over to get the noise and image out of my head.
Anyway thanks so much Laurel. I do see T today and I am not sure if he wants to discuss my diagnosis more or not.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
