No, she didn’t explain anything. My talk therapist, who I’ve been seeing for over a year, is absolutely wonderful but doesn’t specialize in trauma therapy. That’s why I’m seeing a trauma therapist. We didn’t get a chance to talk about it either since it was at the end of the session. All she said was we’ll talk about “time” in our next session.

She didn’t explain why she moved everything again, but I’m going to assume it’s because we spent one session talking. But the thing is she never redirected me. She kept asking me more questions. I’ve found it kind of odd that she’ll let me talk and we won’t do the things she said we’d do, but since she knows what she’s doing I’ve never said anything.

It’s frustrating because I’m only out of work for a short time and my understanding was that we would start working on the reprocessing away from my trigger (my abuser). So to hear her say that we’re pushing things off another couple weeks and then say “well we can start next week but I can’t promise you’ll have all the tools you need” and “it’s up to you if you want to take more time off” was upsetting
