Hi,
What a devastating and traumatising experience. Most people who haven't experienced trauma think it's weird/can't bear it or hear about it/get freaked out/etc, and even some who have. Even when people want to relate to it and help many cannot.
I agree that you need to find a good therapist who you feel you can trust. You can overcome trauma, even multiple traumas, but you will need to work at it. You can even find "gifts" in the "curse" of the trauma - it can tend to make you stronger eventually and at the same time more compassionate. Be well. Good luck for the journey. :-)
PS Yes it IS normal to be traumatised by your experience and yes it IS normal not to talk about it.
IIN to not have talked to anyone about a traumatic experience? (long)
