SAWE, that is so awesome! Way to go!

I have it all wrong; vulnerability is a necessary part of trust; it is distrust that dries up my spirit and makes me hide away from people, from life. I was never allowed to have needs but I do NEED someone to help me come out of the shell, to trust, to live while I still have time to live.
SAWE, wow - I can so relate to this! My T and I have identified that I have major trust issues, and I don't like to be seen as vulnerable in front of anyone! I haven't cried yet in therapy, but T and I have discussed the fact that I do want to let those emotions out, I feel them inside and I want to let them out, but I always stuff them back down. I am really warming up to my T, so that's good - I truly am trusting her more now. As T puts it, I have a hard time letting others take care of me. My goal is to have a session with T like the one you had! Congrats!
