In my therapy session on Wednesday my therapist and I were talking about a flashback I had.

As far as my trauma goes each trauma is handled with each separate flashback using a writing technique. I remembered most of the event, but part of the last part I couldn't. That wasn't apart of the flashback.

My therapist asked me what my response was to the statement made to me as a child in the flashback and my mind went blank. I honestly could not remember. I told her I might have said this or that, but I wasn't positive.

She gave me this look. A look that said she was studying me. Trying to figure out if I didn't truly remember or if I was hiding something.

I felt backed into a corner in those few moments. Like she was putting a magnifying glass over me. Incredibly uncomfortable.

I wanted to ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?" I didn't however. I was in a what I like to call "a deer in headlights" moment and couldn't make the words come out.

I think this is mind-reading. You have no idea what she was thinking. Maybe she was trying to figure out if there was a way she could help you remember.

I suggest asking. Or just tell her to stop.

I would suggest that you talk to her about it. As HazelGirl said, you don't know what she was thinking. You may be assuming she is thinking that way. Because I was ignored when I was a child I have always believed that people don't believe my story, that every question they ask is challenging me.
