)When you have a patient do a timeline, what kind of detail do you have them give? Is it just a line or so about events that *they* feel were traumatic or otherwise significant?

There are a few big problems with "going back in the exact reverse order".
First, as you said, we do not remember everything.
Then, some situations have been taken care of completely by our physiology and do not need to be treated. To do so would be unnecessary and potentially harmful.
Some situations supersede others even if they are in a different chronological order; a very traumatic event even in the far past might prevent less traumatic ones, more recent, to be expressed; those suddenly appear to everyone's surprise as soon as the older event has been dealt with.
As experience has shown me, it is good to have a timeline, as you know what could possibly be expected, but for treatment, it is a lot better, and simpler, to let the patient tell you, through his symptoms and signs, what needs to be treated now, do it, then deal with the next occurrence. I am now dealing with a lifetime of dental problems that were put on the back burner until I resolved all the other issues........and now they are back in force, demanding attention, as, hopefully, that will be my last hurdle................. I sure hope I will not have to deal with the trauma of circumcision, oh, boy........................
