How do you begin to explain what you went through to professionals?
ive been thinking about seeking professional help as of late, but i genuinely have no idea where to even begin... can i bring a list? would it make the therapist doubt me? i dont really know how i could even begin to prioritise one traumatic event over another.
all the sexual abuse, the physical abuse and the psychological torment were intertwined, they were all important in forming me as i am today. i couldnt gloss over one and focus on another. but i fear that ill be labelled as a liar, so many people called me that just for coming forward and trying to talk about everything.
how do i begin to talk about everything without losing credibility? i just want to feel safe to talk of everything after living with a constant knot in my stomach for years.
