my therapist mentioned that I'd been there before back when I was 3 and 6. I told her it was probably because I'd been sexually abused around that time.

I should add that even though I was in therapy, I never felt like I really processed what happened, despite my mom telling me that she took me all the time and it was very extensive. But the records showed that she only took me 6 times in 2 years and had me on Prozac at the age of 6.

I'm just frustrated. Why would she essentially be telling me I should be fine because I've been through intensive therapy? When in fact she barely took me, cancelled appointments, etc.
I keep trying to tell myself that she did take me and maybe I'm wrong about this etc but idk. I've blocked a lot out so maybe I blocked therapy out too.. ?? She has BPD though and has generally always been unreliable tbh..  my mind is ping ponging tonight.

Hello, I am new here. I recently had my intake session and the therapist mentioned many things like anxiety, depression, and specifically C-PTSD. I've been reading up on it but I'm still unsure and nervous about it. I never really thought of myself as having PTSD (but I never tried to think about it honestly).
I've experienced a lot of childhood trauma, from sexual abuse when I was 3, witnessing domestic violence, a borderline mother that I'm still trying to handle these days.
I don't know, I just wanted to put myself out there and see how other people have dealt with the diagnoses of C-PTSD.
I start EMDR therapy next week as well. I'm nervous but hopeful.

Hello. So I'm new here. My therapist mentioned the diagnosis of anxiety, depression, and specifically C-PTSD and gave me some info on that, which is how I found this.
I'm still a little confused and scared by this. I've had some childhood trauma and I have never processed any of it. I thought I had processed the sexual abuse, but I guess I only managed to push all the memories in the back of my mind. I'm just confused. What is C-PTSD and what does it look like in people?
I welcome any advice.
