Sadly, many families and parents believe that a traumatized individual can move past their trauma if they just ”
let it go” and move on. What they fail to realize is that it is very difficult for someone to just start talking about their history. Some people (including children and teens) need to be emotional or have something trigger a memory or feeling in order for them to open up and start talking. It’s not easy to sit down and begin a conversation with an absolute stranger. The reality is that, while I am a therapist, I am still a stranger.
