Not sure if this goes in this forum or in the PTSD one.

Today I disclosed a secret that I've kept for the better part of my life (about something that happened when I was eight, I'm 17 now) to my T. It was through a couple of yes/no questions. Formerly, whenever she'd go in that direction, I'd tell her I didn't want to talk about it or started answering in "I don't know's", or I would panic. I didn't now. I didn't even just nod my answer - I closed my eyes and whispered yes.

My T's reaction was sweet, short, and not dramatic or overly emphatic - in other words, it was exactly what I needed.
She said she already suspected the nature of the traumatic incident, and that was about it. Yeah - beforehand she asked whether it was one incident or more, I had never been clear on that apparently. Luckily, the answer was the former

I'm glad about how things went. Now I don't have to worry about telling her anymore.

Good for you! I'm glad you got a supportive reaction.

I am so glad she responded well.

Its so brave of you to take that first step, you should be really proud of yourself. Sounds like you've got a really good therapist too.
Hugs for you

I'm so pleased you were able to disclose. Hugs if you want them.
