What does one do when they been traumatized to the point of fearing seeking treatment and recovery? Still really wanting to do better for yourself and life but having people invade your privacy to the point of wanting to turn away from the very thing helping you survive. 😢

Who are the people violating your privacy? Health care workers? As Phoenix stated they do need to ask questions in order to help you. If we are not open and honest in therapy it's not going to get us anywhere.

It's very hard to share our stories, it makes us feel very vulnerable.

Or are these people in your private life? If that's the case we can pick and choose what we want to share.

Wishing you moments of peace and happiness.

hi Survivor, I get that. I feel the very same. My only strategy for myself is to go very slowly with new people and ask myself all the time, how is my body feeling about this person or situation, place etc. I am trying to observe how it feels and when it feels calm, I tend to think, this person may be good...xx
