something that may help relax you,

In March 2022 the mental health systems worldwide had a major change.

treatment providers can no longer focus on drawn out conversations on past trauma details nor can they help people look for more and more trauma events, trauma details. (which is probably why in your words she briefly touched on what you talked about in your last session.)

A person discloses if and when they want to. then after that disclosure, therapy centers on the present not the past and not on the traumatic details.

So rather than thinking about the trauma events details and getting all nervious with fuzzy head, maybe you can plan ahead for your next session.

figure out why you disclosed to your therapist this past event.

Was it to say hey this happened to me, now let's move on to something different, I just wanted my therapist to know it happened?

or

is /was there something with your life today that the traumatic event of the past is causing you problems. focus on todays problems rather than the details of the trauma. thats now what trauma therapy is.

heres a non trauma event example, something that is completely normal and has nothing to do with trauma, mental disorders and so forth and also lacks details like symptoms, diagnostics and so forth for any mental disorder but will illustrate what I mean.

say my sidewalk is icy from winter weather. I slip and fall. now its a year or years later and winter coming on, I go to my therapist and disclose I slipped on an icy sidewalk last year or years ago.

disclosure is done and over with, now what...

with the new mental health standards in place my therapist doesnt ask for any details of that past fall and doesnt focus on that past fall.

she says something like thanks for telling me during our last session that you have a history of a previous fall, what can I do to help you today? is there something in your life today that you are having a problem with because of that fall that you need my help with?

then I have a choice to make..

I can say ....no I just wanted someone to hear me say it.
I can say.... yes Im having this problem today because of that fall last year, I need your help with this problem.

Then my treatment provider and I would work on solutions to..... present day..... problem by brainstorming ideas on how to make my life today better...

maybe I can lay down some salt or sand or kittly litter on the sidewalks so that I dont fall again. Maybe I can put up a railing to hold on to while walking on the side walk, maybe she can refer me for medical care...

lots of solutions that do not involve delving into the trauma details.

trauma therapy no longer involves going into details or big bang style disclosure dig deep lets work on the traumatic details that will retraumatize you stuff.. since the new standards by the American psychiatric association, who and so on (all those worldwide mental health organizations, treatment providers and so forth that worked for 9-10 plus years on the new mental health standards that are now in place as of march 2022) that old retraumatizing style of therapy is out and not allowed any more.

Since the change over to the new mental health system trauma therapy is you disclose ......if and when you want to....., then move back into what's going on today and solve today's problems.

therapy is now individualized; you have all the control of what you discuss and how much and what you want to work on.

if it makes you feel things you dont normally feel its ok to say hey talking about this makes me feel bla bla bla lets talk about something different. I came here today to work on this instead...

maybe deciding why, you disclosed and what you want your therapists help with will tell you what you need to do now. take a deep breath, clear your mind and say ok why did I tell them about that, what did I want out of disclosing that past trauma to my therapist.
