Today T hit a huge, huge nerve. I just shut down. I'm guessing this is because of trauma, who knows. Does this happen t anyone else? T tried to reassure me over and over that he wasn't tring to hurt me, that it is important that we talk about this stuff. I just shut down completely. No talking, no looking at him. How you do re-engage after this? No idea. I see again later this week but I really don't want to do. I want to quit. Yes I know I'll never heal if I quit, but it seems so unfair to have to revisit all this again. I just don't want to deal with it. Any ideas? Thoughts?
