AlwaysChanging2, I think it's probably common to minimize abuse even without a dissociative disorder.I'm assuming it's more common and easier to do with one.

I wasn't even aware some of the things I went through were abuse.My therapist would repeat back to me what I was telling him so I could realize how bad they were by hearing him say it.

You may feel you're making a mountain out of a molehill but I really doubt you are
