It's so good that you brought that memory up, and I hope that you will see that you have only accepting, warm and loving responses here. Many of us have memories like yours- fragments which don't seem to add up to much, but which are, nonetheless, surounded in shame and fear, for reasons which are hard to explain. When you talk about them, be sure not to retraumatize yourself by becoming overwhelmed by anxiety or shame; you are truly safe here because you are speaking to unknown people who REALLY understand what you are talking about. Hopefully, you can re-experience and work through these traumatic memories, insignificant as they may seem ( they aren't!) slowly and in a safe and loving atmosphere with your therapist.
