My mom is constantly saying “my new osteopath/friend/obgyn/etc also survived a horrific trauma. You guys should chat!”
It’s not just my mom, I’ve had other do this but she is the most consistent offender. 
WHY do people do this!? Do they think that trauma survivors love to bond over the horrible memories that already haunt them at night and randomly throughout the day? If we want to share our trauma, a social gathering with strangers and acquaintances  usually isn’t the place we feel comfortable doing so. Even with trained professionals it’s incredibly difficult to relive those memories.
