It is more than a bit intimidating when you think about how much power a therapist has over you (or maybe it's just me that is freaked out by this). She has all this power, power that I have willingly given over to her.

The fact that you could get that out, looking directly at her, HUGE step.

Like any step into the unknown it is only natural to second guess every aspect of it. If you trust her enough to have told her that, then you can probally trust her enough to have understood exactly what you meant.
