For me, yes 100% true. I actually cannot get the words out. I've shared enough that my therapist knows what happened and I'm trying to be able to talk about it but it is so hard.
I think shame is a huge component but I still haven't managed to completely sort out what else I'm feeling that makes it so hard. Maybe also not feeling safe enough? Even though I have no reason to feel unsafe in therapy. I don't know yet if it's a pivotal moment since all I've been able to do is answer questions in the affirmative.
I'm sorry you have had to survive this as well.
