NP, before therapy there were many things that happened in my marriage that I would not have recognized as trauma. It took saying some of them out loud to another human for me to even begin to recognize those things as what they were, and sometimes having them repeated back to me before I could grasp it. Take your time if you need to. You still get to define it how you need to, and there’s no set timeline or expectation for that.
