[quote=Anonymous]Everyone is different, and therapy doesn't mean focusing endlessly on your childhood, no matter what happened. And I don't think it's common for therapists to focus on it -- most therapists will back off any subject you don't want to talk about. I myself had a traumatic childhood, and I've never had a therapist push talking about it (even though I honestly need to talk about it more!) I'm not sure what went on in OP's childhood. It's hard to tell. But, while it's true that some people are particularly resilient, if something REALLY traumatic or bad happened, I agree that you need to take some time to think about it when it becomes time for you to be a parent ... particularly by adoption. You need to understand how you are going to parent differently, and have a plan for it. [/quote]
