I've got that fear, too. I have something from my childhood that I hate to talk about. It's my therapist who brought up that it traumatized me. I'm ashamed that I let emotional abuse from so long ago still hurt me, so I deny it's trauma, even though she said it's more psychologically damaging to keep it inside.
Maybe what traumatized you seems to be so small and unimportant, but deep inside the pain is real and valid and your therapist, like mine, recognizes it.
Maybe someday I'll open up in therapy, I sure pay enough to sit and stare.
