[quote=Anonymous]I think there are two parts here. you need to stop comparing her trauma and her healing (or lack thereof) to you. You can't say mine was worse than yours - even if the crime itself was more horrific, the experience of traumatic stress is similar regardless of the event that caused it. She may have PTSD, and maybe you avoided that through your proactive approach to dealing with your trauma. So that part i think you need to let go of - let her experience be her experience and accept that it was very traumatic for her, maybe just as traumatizing or even more traumatizing then what you experienced (as trauma is subjective). On the second part I agree with the other posters. You are not responsible for her healing and you need to have healthy boundaries that ensure she isn't bringing you down. You can remain a good friend but not be involved in the trauma aspect. [/quote]
