um,, this might sound weird but how do you bring up exotrauma to your therapist? thank you so much!

Do they know about otherkinity? No? You should probably tell them. Give them some sources, explain it as thoroughly as you can. 

Once you get that far, let them do their own research. Then you explain your exotrauma. You want to emphasize that you are aware it’s not trauma from the life and body you have right now.

For me, it manifests identically to people who had trauma thirty years ago. Symptoms all seem the same. Mine’s a little repressed, but their symptoms ring pretty true for me. Problem is, I’m seventeen, not over thirty.

My exotrauma is effectively trauma that happened somewhere else, when I had a different name and looked differently and is very much repressed and only shows up to punch me directly between the legs. 

You want to explain it pretty much like that – using terms they understand, and relating it to what they already know how to handle. It’s not likely that they’ll have seen this before – last time someone counted, those who ID as otherkin are about 5000 strong from what we’ve seen, though there could be more – so it’ll be new, and you want to put it into terms and boxes that they already know how to deal with, so they can modify the tactics they know so they work on you.

Assuming you’ve got a good therapist, they’ll do their best, and they’ll also do their own research, which can really only help you.

Good luck.
