I had one session dedicated to how investigating root causes for trauma, all the way back to the very moment it started, wasn’t necessarily all that helpful. My therapist was right, of course - the present-day triggers and mindfulness are where to focus - but for a heated moment, I had a very hard time agreeing. Inside the same session I was also beside myself in disbelief that I actually argued with my own therapist without a second thought.
Oof. I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
