Not sure if I can

Do what my therapist wants. She wants me to write down the beginning of when I was held by men for 3 months back when I was 19. Eventually, I’m supposed to have written the whole story. She wants me to read it to her and discuss it. I’m not sure I can

Why don’t you think you can write it?

I don’t want others reading it. And I don’t know if I can read it to my therapist. The SEALs are watching me because they tapped my phone etc. I don’t want them to know my story. Plus, it’s really hard to talk about

You can always wait, until you are ready. It might help you if you it write down and discuss it…to bring up old traumas and feeling and emotions. So that you can get rid of them.

writing maybe would still be possible but hard but then reading it to her is a step too far for me =/

You need to explain that you’re not ready to talk about it and writing it will make memories more vivid and hard to deal with , she what she says

Good idea @anon80629714 . I want to process it and deal with it but it’s really hard

That sounds very difficult to do.
I don’t know if this is healthy for you to accomplish.
It could even turn out to be more damaging for you.

Does your therapist have experience working with schizophrenic clients?
