Yes, I still doubt if "it" happened. I just told my T that today. Denial is one of the strongest defenses. We used it to help us get through the trauma so we could survive. Doubting is perfectly natural. For me, there are some big things I still doubt, but slowly but surely the pieces are fitting together so that in my mind and my gut I know it's true. You'll know when you get there.
It's a really long process for some people (14 years for me and still counting!) but I'm a much happier, healthier person now because I have a (little) better understanding of why I react the way I do to certain situations in the present. I function much better now, even if I'm still working on it.
Please don't give up.
