"I wasn't traumatized, why do I have PTSD symptoms?" | Ask Kati Anything podcast ep.104

1. Hi Kati, why do I feel so much less inclined to do something when somebody tells me or asks me to do it? If my therapist gives me tough love it backfires but when I'm left to take action on my own... Unpressured ... then I will get there. Also for example I might go to my mum's with the...

2. Hi Kati. I don’t think I was ever emotionally abused or neglected, but I still feel like there was… something. Some sort of childhood wound or dysfunction in the family that made me into the anxious, timid, closed off person I am today. I feel like there was lots of passive aggression with ...

3. Hello Kati and everyone! I’ve got a question about little traumas or little T’s. Why do little T’s feel so “not a big deal”? Do you need to talk about or re-experience all the little T’s? How do you know which ones you need to talk about in therapy, as a patient and also as a therapist. Thanks for all ...

4. This probs won’t get any likes, but I’m so genuinely curious… Would you ever consider offering mini-courses for therapists? I’m about to jump into the field, and I’ve learned SO MUCH from you!!! Seriously, my professors are impressed by my knowledge. You just explain things so well and your ...

5. Hi Kati! Can you talk about the consequences of getting the silent treatment from a parent? I live together with my girlfriend and I’ve noticed recently that isolating from her (due to covid) is a huge trigger for me because it reminds me of how my parents used to withhold love and affection from me or stopped...

6. Hi Kati! When I’m happy I can’t enjoy it, I instantly get upset and want to cry and sometimes hurt myself. Do you have any idea why this could be and how I could stop this? Just some background I was neglected, physically, emotionally and sexually abused throughout my childhood but I now ...

7. Hi Kati! Why do I react so strongly to children’s crying and whining? To set the scene, I’m a 22 year old female and I’m dating a 25 year old man with two little daughters, ages 2 (almost 3) and 4, who I’ve helped raise for the past 2 and a half years. When my boyfriend and I first started dating, I had ....

8. Hi kati!! How do you deal with inner loyalty conflicts in therapy? I find it very difficult to tell my therapist something about my parents and upbringing that did not go well. I know criminal/bad things have happened, but I don't want to hurt my parents at all. I feel it's important to speak out to
