Triggering (Abuse) - What should I say?

[Breeze]

I have never spoken of the abuse I recieved through my life. Abuse of all kinds.
My CPN and shrink know there is a history but I tend to be good at changing subject when it is brought up.

In the recovering from the abuse/dealing with it, would talking about it in detail, like what was done etc or just how it has made me feel now?

I feel the situs rushing through my head and it is overwhelming. Do I speak the heavy stuff out? Or just feelings?

I think really it is totally up to you how and when you talk about it. I had never told anyone and then it all spilt out at once to my CPN and then I refused to see him ever again, so I think maybe thats not the best way.
I think its important you talk to whoever you trust the most, my CPN was male and I didnt like him anyway so after I had told him I wasnt comfortable at all, I think you need to make sure that doesnt happen because you end up going backwards.
The Abuse and Bullying Board might be helpful for you, they are all really lovely and might have experiences they can share with you :)
I hope you're ok,
take care

I think if you talked about it, you would feel better. However, that decision is entirely up to you. I hope that you trust them enough to tell them one day.
