Sample marked passage:
Quote:

These symptoms are combined with more general manifestations of complex trauma, such as the profound alteration in a person's beliefs about themselves and the world, problems with the regulation of emotions and urges, self-destructive behavior, difficulties with intimacy, alterations in the perception of others, and idealization of the people who caused the damage, as well as medical problems.

How does he see me? I feel a bit like a bug under a magnifying glass. Also, surely I'm not the only reason he's reading this book. He's indicated before and outright said recently that I have more trauma than any of the other clients he's ever seen. I have a really, really hard time believing that. In 12 years? Seriously? I keep meaning to ask him about that statement, but it feels like a really uncomfortable thing to bring up on my own.
