How long did it take with your current/past therapists until you shared trauma with them? I saw my last T for 5 years and it took me probably 1-2 years to start giving details about trauma.

I’ve seen my new T 3 times and while she seems great, I’m worried it’s going to take forever until I can share things with her. All she knows is the types of trauma because I put it on the intake form, nothing more. I’m also finding it hard to talk about important non-traumatic things with her, such as the bad things that happened with my last therapist.

It makes therapy difficult because literally nothing that’s going on in my life right now makes sense without knowing my past. It all has no context. So, how long until you shared?
