I guess it makes sense to say it out loud and to share the secret, to tell your truth. I often have difficulty talking when I go down into myself and t asking me those intrusive questions does not help.
I wondered if I it's necessary to ask the details but it seems it's a personal choice for ts.

Perhaps that it's not that she "wants" to know the details but is rather focusing on it so as not to ignore it. There's this thing in the literature on dealing with it as a therapist where they advise not ignoring the elephant in the room because it can convey some kind of collaboration with the attacker, as the non-abusing parents(s) could have been perceived.

That said, I still haven't dealt with it with my therapist we've mentioned it. He's tried to get me to talk about not wanting to talk about it, rather than searching for details. What will happen if I "go there".
Thanks for this!

My therapust does not ask for specifics and details, but I have a need to share them. It helps to have another person know all of the horrible things that were done to me. I do ask my therapust all of the time if it's okay for me to tell her or if it's too much, but she reassures me that she wants to hear whatever I have to say and that she is trained to hear these things and she knows how to take care of herself.
