Hi Up&down,
Just two sessions ago, my therapist told me that what I suffered growing up is what sometimes is referred to as "dripping tap trauma" -- in other words, emotional trauma that is inflicted repeatedly over and over during an extended period as opposed to a single distinct traumatic event. And yes, just as you're comparing emotional trauma to physical, so this protracted form of trauma is harder to recover from than the other.
So, yes-- I indentify hugely. And it, too, took me a long time to see just how much damage was done and how it shaped my life, my choices, my path.
And as live suggested -- why not start a post below and let us get to know you?
best,
gf
