The reason I'm asking this is because my therapist is so dismissive about it like it doesn't exist. I still live in my hometown where I  was born, grew up, went to school etc. and it's making my anxiety worse. I lived here my whole life and I experienced a lot of traumatic things in this town like abuse, bullying etc. I no longer live  and speak with my parents who abused me but sometimes when I go to the grocery store I see them and it totallly ruins my day. And speaking of the grocery store, everytime I go to the grocery store I have to pass by my old high school and I get flashbacks of the awful things that happend to me there. Or seeing my former bullies (who didn't change at all ) when I run errands. I told my therapist about this and she looked like she heard this for the first time. Whether she believes me or not I am going to leave this place and move away next week (because I can't take it here any longer) I just wanted to know if it's "normal" that cities, towns, villages etc. worsen anxiety
