PTSD From Childhood Trauma?

I am in therapy... I started seeing the same T after a 5 year hiatus. I alternately think he's good for me because he is sometimes tough with me, and feel like leaving, because I've been combative in the past, and I think he sees me more as a trouble-maker than as someone who has experienced trauma, and who wants help.

Have you asked him if this is what he actually thinks? I made a big deal about my being a troublemaker recently and my T said he never ever thought that about me.

Someone with C-ptsd or BPD can have a very distorted view of himself and sometimes negatively misinterpret body language and even whole conversations with their T. Best you check out the facts with your T and see how he really feels. Most Ts won't see a person they don't feel comfortable with because they know the interaction would not be therapeutic.

I thought C-PTSD was from having multiple traumas not necessarily prolonged trauma.

To be honest though, I have so many gaps in my memory any actual text I tried to write would probably be totally incoherent.

Like I told the therapist who thought I had repressed memories. "If I repressed it I did it for a reason and I don't want to be digging around in there."[/QUOTE]

I have gaps in my memories to, my psyd doc told me it wasnt a good idea to pull at it too much, if its meant to come it will come when its ready, He's concerned about "false" memories and feel they are created sometimes because so much pressure is pushed on people to remember so what happens is their minds create clips to fill the gaps.

That sounds like a "can of worms". It sounds like you're asking me to convince you that my T and I have had issues. I don't see how I could do that.. I suppose you'll just have to take my word for it.

Anyway.... we are working together fairly well in the last month or so since I've decided to go back.
