I'm glad you shared those thoughts with us here, too! That's a big step, not just telling your T things that upset you but then working on the upset (by telling us here and asking for our help too). What I use to do is take (in my head/heart) some of what I learned here at PsychCentral from others into my T's office and other places in my life. I was even thinking about friends from here and stuff we'd discussed in threads like this in the grocery store :-) When you feel silly and have trouble with T, think of us here who (hopefully :-) don't make you feel silly and have felt like you are feeling before, too. It can be comforting to have 8-10 other people in your head with you at T's sometimes, LOL.
