Ever feel that once someone discovers that you've got some sort of traumatic event in your past, they will assume that that's the reason for any issues you might have now? I'm probably being very unfair on my counsellor for thinking this, but it seems like ever since I've told her about Dunblane, that's all we seem to talk about in session.

I have felt that way before too, it feels like once someone hears that you have had trauma they seem to not get the bigger picture of things because it's more than our traumas that make us who we are. Have you talked to your T about the way you feel about this? It may be something worth bringing up. ![]()

Rio, yes I too have felt that past therapists and other folks have assumed that because I've had various traumatic events in life this must be why I'm the way I am. My thought on that is give me a break. PTSD doesn't define my life anymore than having brown eyes does.

Well, I suppose that's in stark contrast to the psychiatrist who, only last week, when he asked me why I was being treated for PTSD and I told him why, began laughing hysterically and said "you've got to be kidding me, right?"
