Dear SlumberKitty,

It is usually up to a client to start that topic in therapy if they have such concerns.

But they brought it up, so the question is what to do with it...

If there is something to remember, that was hidden for a long time, it will come out probably once you feel safe enough, and capable enough to deal with that. I know it does not sound reassuring atm, but trust yourself on this one. You will deal with it when you can, if there is anything to deal with. I say that from experience.


About the test...I think that you should definitely talk to you doctor about your panic attack the last time you had the test, so that they can be extra careful and make it as bearable as it is possible, in case that you decide to do it. If you still find it panic inducing, just stop the whole thing, and be aware that you have the control over decisions about your health, and you can stop it any time you feel uncomfortable.


Take care,
A.
