I find it difficult opening up to T. We speak about this regularly, but nothing seems to help. Part for the reason is that I am so concerned about what he will think of me if I tell him what's really going on. I KNOW that whatever I tell T he will be fine with- he wont do all the things I am scared of him doing (rejecting/ridiculing etc etc). I know this is all about me.

Anyway, it got me thinking how much bigger these things are to us as patients/clients, and whether T really cares about these big risks we take with them. They are not involved with us except for that therapy hour, so does what we say or do really have any effect on them? Do they really care when we struggle week after week to get through the days/weeks/therapy hour? I know Ts are supportive, understanding and accepting, but do they sit there wishing we would just say what we had to say because they hear what we withold every day?
