There are too many people to quote, but you all gave me a lot to think about. EM: I swear we are on a similar journey. I’ve related to so much you’ve talked about on here.
My T at the crisis center did say she thinks it is relational trauma. I also just read The Body Keeps The Score, and made myself write down any of the symptoms of trauma the book brought up. It is so conflicting, because I relate to so much of what he said, but all the examples in the book are so much “worse” than my experiences (that i can remember).
So much to think about!

I have thought a few times that our therapists sound similar, so it makes sense that we are on somewhat similar journeys. My depression symptoms lessened significantly once I started to get into core issues, so I hope your next steps will take you there too.
I know what you mean about The Body Keeps the Score. I imagine other people have good recs for relational trauma (maybe the one Lost mentioned?). It's not a trauma book, but the first time I really saw myself and my life reflected back to me in a book was when I read Running on Empty. I like that she doesn't talk only about the extremes, which makes it more relatable for people in the middle.
