Did T forget about my trauma?

It´s kind of strange. After the session, in which my T "discovered" a trauma, in which I got really overwhelmed and cried, breathing heavily and couldn´t get a grip of myself again, she did say we needed to look at it in pieces and integrate it, and she did call me the day after to make sure I was doing ok.

But this was a few weeks ago and after, she never mentioned this session again or looking at the things and pictures we discovered there.

It sounds really really weird, but I feel like she forgot about it?!

I don´t really want to bring it up again myself, so.... what´s up?

Well ... If she did forget about it and you don't want to bring it up again, it looks as if nothing's up.

Unless you want it to be.

Don't mean to sound glib here, but this is your process and the ball is in your court ... Always!

What you decide to do with it is totally up to you.

She may be letting you decide when you are ready to work on it. If it was upsetting when it came up before, maybe you weren't ready then, and you are the only one who can know when you are ready. Otherwise, things that need to be worked on do have a way of coming back up sooner or later. Something that you will talk about will relate to it in some way, and you will come face to face with it again. She could also be counting on that. It is your process, and pushing you to talk about something if you aren't ready or don't want to could feel too pushy and even intimidating or scary. It really is up to you.

My T never brought up anything about my trauma, to avoid making me feel pushed or coerced in any way.

Why don't you tell your T what you're thinking? "I told you something big a few weeks ago but since you haven't mentioned it, I was wondering if you forgot."
