Hi, I'm new here--I've been diagnosed with GAD and on meds. I was in therapy several times as a child and saw somebody for a few months as an adult. The problem is that my therapist thought I needed to discuss the childhood sexual abuse I went through. I told her about it, but I suppose I always talk about it in "clinical" terms and she wanted more. I don't like to discuss the details and I feel disconnected emotionally from the incident, so it was really hard for me to come up with things to say. At one point, she said that she didn't think she could do any more for me if I continued to be resistant to discussing it so I quit seeing her. I really want to get help for my anxiety and depression, but I'm too afraid to see someone now because I literally don't know how to talk about this thing. What am I doing wrong? Is that really the only way to help my anxiety issues?

Hi antonia, welcome to PC. Yeah, you have to get your feelings out about the abuse because this is what is causing your depression and anxiety. Figuring out how the abuse affected you and fixing that is also really important.
