I have three brothers and two of them abused me when I was younger. One brother I have a great relationship with. Nothing from the past. The other one has been a issue. He has claimed me incompented. I was the excutive of my mom's estate.
My T doesn't know about the abuse because we are on a different subject. He knows about the one brother that's claiming me as being incompeted.
My question is this: Do I tell T about the abuse or do I continue to say nothing?

Of course you tell him. Why wouldn't you? I'm guessing there's something missing here ...

No, there's nothing missing. I just don't know how much this has affected me.

I would suggest talking to your therapist about this when you feel comfortable doing so. Your therapist can help you work through the feelings and memories you have about the abuse and your brother.

Verbal abuse is also not acceptable... I am guessing that your past abuse(s) by your 2 brothers have left you feeling "powerless" against them. Telling your therapist whenever you feel the time is "right" will "enable" you to "reclaim" that part of you that needs to be a part of you once more .
