There's so many good ideas and suggestions from everyone here. it's true that slower is actually faster cause when you go slow & easy, you don't tend to dive back into your shell and have to start from scratch again. [quote]
I'll do it- so slower would be not pushing myself. She did tell me to keep a journal and write down triggers, so I wrote down a few words and not too much detail b/c that is all I want to say. If I want to say more I can add to it. I would like to stay present.

Please believe your body will tell you when it's ready to remember. It IS big deal to just show up for therapy... It's really hard work! Its fine to tell your T that you don't remember your childhood. That's a great starting point.

I had a similar realization to Tree and found my T was safe and completely trustworthy. I could tell him anything and he never judged.

I guess I am afraid I will do the easy thing and never remember and never try to since it is easier to not to. Or when I remember something I will run from it. Especially mother things, which is what a female t brings up for me.

My T compared this therapy as a jig saw puzzle. One piece at a time and soon you will be seeing the picture clearly. There is no right or wrong way for this process to happen; it just does.

You sound like you have a really good t. She knows you well. I can see it being a jigsaw puzzle. That is the way it feels. Like I have memories and feelings in pieces in my head and when I start to talk I get out pieces and it doesnt make sense when I talk. That is exactly what happened in my last session with this new t. I know I said stuff that wasnt making sense. Pieces came out of my mouth. It happens when I am overwhelmed.
