If I were just coming into therapy for the first time and this was the first thing we did, I'd not come back either. (This survey asks very specific questions about the types of trauma someone might have experienced.) I am in school to become a therapist and I just had a class in trauma where the professor proudly declared that they administer the ACES survey to all clients during the first session. It's beyond unfortunate that you experienced this and that it left a bad taste in your mouth.Īlso unfortunate is that some trauma-informed therapists think it's important to get a sense of the kind of trauma clients have faced during the first session. Will not be seeing her again, I feel way worse than I did before deciding to "seek help" lmao. It really left a bad taste in my mouth and I cancelled our next session. Don't acknowledge it or ask me about it then? I can't imagine doing that to anyone in my life, prying them for the most sordid details and then having them come back to me and saying "oh that's not my problem, get over it" wtf. I don't know why she even brought it up or asked me about it if it didn't matter. I felt like shit over it now that it was in the surface.I hadn't brought up my past in that second session.I didn't ask her to dredge it up on the first session.Then she said, "but there's nothing to do about it, the past is in the past, what can ya do. Our second session she started off acknowledging what I'd told her in the previous session. After our session I felt like absolute shit because I'd never talked about my childhood with anyone, and I'd been hiding and ignoring it on purpose for so many years. The first session she questioned me extensively, which brought a lot of traumas to the surface for me. My reasons for seeing her were not to dig up any old traumas or wounds.
