@eskielover I’m so glad you found the right psychologist who helped you process the experience you’d been through. That’s a really wise point that sometimes we need someone totally detached from our lives who we can fully confide safely in. Sometimes we don’t want to burden people in our lives and also we might not want to add stress to those relationships and jeopardise them.

My former therapist guided me to assess who was a safe person to confide in, but that said we do sometimes misjudge situations.
