This post struck me when I read it. I have been in this position before. Parents always seem to be such and issues, for me, all the abuse they did to me I hate them for yet, they are my parents and I am supposed to love them and respect them. It's hard to stay one way or the other.

As far as sharing with T. Sharing things can be very frighting, I know they have been for me. I too journal through out the week so I can remember what to talk about in session.

What has worked for me is I always go back through the week (with my journal) and write down on a separte piece of paper, the issues that I need/want to discuss. I will then tell T what is on my list and that I am not sure where to start. Sometimes he will notice a change in me, my voice, posture, anything small from one item to the next. He will then say "you seemed tense when you read....." Sometimes I even notice when I
am readomg it to him what is really pressing at that time.

For my T and I, it seems to be a feel/sensing thing. He will either sense something or I will and then that is where we start.

Don't know if this helps you or not. I hope it does. Take care.
