Hi DarkAngelGirl

It can mean a couple of different things. T can stand for therapist or therapy, but *T* can also stand for 'trigger'. It really depends on the context.

Hope that helps :)/>

It's not a weird question hon it's important that you ask if you dont know or understand something you see on the board or in chat
