Hi underethics,
Don't worry, you didn't reveal anything to me that would cause me to recognize you or not believe your feelings that something may have happened to you are genuine.
I have trouble talking in therapy, too. I gave my therapist a note last week with some of the painful things of my childhood. Maybe you could give your therapist a copy of what your wrote here? Even though the memory is hazy and you fear it's not valid, she would be able to see what is so upsetting to you without you having to talk out loud.
I have clear memories of some of the bad stuff my brother did to me (I know I'm vague, but like you, I fear being found out) and some things that might have happened, but I'm not sure. I don't think I will find out what the complete truth is unless I talk/write about it.
Think you can copy your post? You don't have to tell her it's from babble. I have never told my therapist about this site and hope she never finds it as she'd know me right away.
Hope I helped. Sorry for your pain. The pain is real.
