Speaking as a trauma survivor, I've written down some of what happened to me and I've always tried to be as accurate as possible with what I've written, because I don't think anyone would believe what happened to me. Of course, trauma survivors are not all the same, but I think a lot of us experience gaslighting and we end up having to defend against that, even if it's just grappling with it in our own minds.
