Extreme trauma is more common than you think. I sometimes go through times where I think what was done to me was so on the fringe that I feel obligated to protect my psychologist and psychiatrist from the truth. After all, who would even want to hear the kinds of things I have to share. What I have learned is as I let out drips and drabs of history over time (with evidence to support my trauma experiences) both my psychiatrist and psychologist have grown into a very compassionate and skilled trauma treatment team. I recommend patience with your therapist and if you think he can grow into being the trauma therapist you need, give him time. My therapist wasn't even trauma trained when I met her. She literally went into trauma training for the purpose of helping me. We had a bond. I felt safe. For someone with Reactive Attachment Disorder and DID, that meant everything. Everything flowed from that. She passed on the training to my psychiatrist. I may not have been blessed with parents, but G-d sent me the single best treatment team to help repair a destroyed psyche and soul.
