Hi Ana,

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this.
It's not on you to worry about your response to what she has shared.

I'm wondering how comfortable you are with applying the word trauma to your experiences.

The first few times somebody used it with regard to the most recent bereavement I experienced, it grated on me.

I've since come to understand that it's not so much about the experience, but the impact that it had on you.

'Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what you hold inside in the absence of an empathic witness.' - Peter Levine

If the way your T is approaching this makes you feel uncomfortable (on any level) then you are within your rights to acknowledge that.

Wishing you strength in the days ahead,

Lost
