YOU ARE SENSITIVE AND YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO FEEL THE WAY YOU DO. DON'T THE SO CALLED PROFESSIONALS TELL YOU HOW TO FEEL.

Honey, if someone abused you or raped you, then you are not just "being sensitive." I would mention that you are not comfortable with those other terms. Discipline and abuse are not the same thing. Rape can be an assault but not all assaults are rape. These are not interchangeable terms. If they are still unwilling to talk honestly with you then yes, I would search out a new therapist, etc. You KNOW what happened to you, don't let anyone lessen the things you have sufered (unless of course that is something you are looking for) We all need to be able to be honest in therapy, that is the only way it works.......:)

I think that you should probably find a new therapist, as the main thing is to trust them and feel comfortable with them. We are all different and we have to find the right support that suits us. I think anybody who downgrades abuse and rape into lesser terms is not being sympathetic. I have just changed from a doctor who referred the effects of two years of heavy duty physical attacks and other abuses as "stress due to domestic upheaval"! I think a lot of professionals would rather treat people as hyterical than face the reality of the abuse they suffered. Luckily others are more openminded. I dont think "sensitive" is a term that should be used as a critical way either, as this is often done by people who are judgemental and insensitive to the needs of others.

i agree with everyone else here. im sorry that you have been put through that

Thanks for your responses. I usually start to believe people who minimize what I've been through. I feel like I could bring it up with my doctors and find new ones if need be.
