Hey, sorry it has taken you so long to get a reply. I would let your doctor know that you appreciate her concerns but, as far as you know, there is no trauma you have experienced with the exception of your dad's cancer. I think in this day and age (speaking for myself, and hopefully others as well) trauma can be basically anything. I believe I suffered one specific type of trauma, but nobody's going to believe that because I had a choice to make. When it comes to bullies who hold such power over you like that with threats, it's hard to say no and that is my trauma. It's atypical, and I'm sure there are others with atypical trauma. I am not saying you have it, but maybe that is where she is coming from.
Getting back to it, just let her know you appreciate your concerns and let that be the end of it. She has no right to try to analyze why you do what you do/did, that's something you need to feel comfortable revealing to the appropriate physician - your therapist.
