My T said, next time
we will work on THIS (
horrible topic) and I suffered through your same thoughts for three weeks, including the knowledge that I didn't want to "let her down" by saying no.. When we met again, she didn't bring it up, but to my surprise it came up during the hour anyway in a painless sort of way (sneeeeky therapists
) and afterwards I thought that we had made at least a little progress.
I think her Making A Formally Announced Plan was to get me used to the idea of addressing it... even though she didn't force me.
You may be ready to talk about this; but your T has the toolbag and knows the methods. Maybe he's just presenting the tools, you still can refuse if you choose it,but the fact that you two are already touching on this subject may mean that you're ready, on some deep level, to start.
