I finally opened up in therapy

I wanted to share my therapy breakthrough, but no one irl knows about my trauma so here it goes reddit!

I’ve seeing various counselors and therapists for years, but I’ve been in therapy with this therapist for 3 years. Today I opened up & my therapist and I confirmed that I was neglected was a child. Deep down I’d always know this, but it feels so nice to have someone validate how I feel and my childhood experiences.

I’m happy and proud of myself for opening up and finally telling someone. I feel like I took back a little piece of my childhood today 🩷
