[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, millions of people were traumatized— to greater or lesser degrees — by their experiences on 9/11.  Would you really feel better by having someone NOT characterize such an experience as “trauma”?  Not that I know your situation, but many people experience genuinely traumatic experiences as “normal”.  A well-trained therapist, over time, would help,such people to recognize that they minimized their trauma — which often might get expressed in maladaptive ways. Not assuming that this is true of you OP — just startled by that example of a therapist that you had concerns about. [/quote]

Psychologist. Beginners error here..yes some mininize trauma but also and this will be hard to believe but the data bears it out...many people experiencing the same event that might be traumatizing in the true definitive way for some, will not actually be traumatized. If she says she was not, it is reasonable for the therapist to accept it and move along to what she does want to explore.  She decides.[/quote]
