They will not judge you for still feeling the way you do after two years and if they do, then they're not a good therapist.
Also, have you considered support groups for rape survivors? I would look into that and maybe someone else on here can provide the resources for you to utilize. It's so unfair that you've had to keep this to yourself for so long, and it's long past due for you receive the appropriate support for your traumas.
Wishing you the best of luck today at your appointment. Feel free to reach out again if you ever need to.

I still get overwhelming impostor syndrome about it. Which, is one reason I've always sort of kept it close to the chest. The idea of going to a group just.. Already seems overwhelming, and I'd feel so.. Wrong if I went. I already feel like some people had it happen worse, which makes me feel like I should just be quiet about it all.
