Wow. I never realized how many of us would be suffering from the pain of humliation. Once again, I find I'm not alone.

Mike - please don't apologize - you didn't make me think about it, I was already there. If my post after yours led you to that understanding, I should apologize to you. You have not hurt me in any way - and I thank you for your courage in posting, and sharing the avatar that speaks so well to the subject of humiliation.

Robbie - I can so understand. I hope that in identifying this, it can help you heal. Sure is what I'm hoping - is that my T and I can address this and at least soften the impact or something.

Again ... wow. I thought this was just huge for me. Now that I've read all the responses so far ... it IS huge. For MANY of us.

Mark,

I just started with a new T. I've told him about this site, so he may be reading this as well. But I plan to raise this issue as an A-level pain source to be worked on.

I at least want to know and identify if I (as a survivor) have an amplified reaction to humiliation. I suspect YES...So then I'll need some help with reducing the reactions.

I told my T during todays session. We're adding it to the list of goals for my recovery. Seems it's more an issue to me than even I first thought.

he also gave me the official "diagnosis" after 8 weeks. PTSD

I hope your work with the new T is productive. And I hope you get a handle on your reactions to humiliation.
