So I was not, I was never physically harmed, but verbally, publicly humiliated repeatedly for appearing too effeminate.
And I was told publicly the sexual acts that I should be performing.
Crap like that.
I mean, really?
I mean, just horrible.
And I didn't learn in the home how to speak up for myself.
I didn't know that I could have gone to someone.
I just my shame on both sides.
Both at home and at school, it was so huge.
I just wanted to disappear.
That's all I needed to do was to ignore it, to put my head down and keep going.
So that is, in a nutshell, that's my own experience of trauma.
Do I typically tell my clients this?
And what I believe happens is because I know trauma happens,
personally so deeply, my clients sense in my reactions to them that I get it really deeply.
I'm only now becoming public.
I mean, I'm near the end of my career now.
