Boy do I ever have a hard time expressing myself when I am in my therapists office. My mind goes blank and I forget everything I wanted to say. Then I get flustered and it just makes the situation worse. She now has me journaling during the week and we elaborate on some of the more important points. That has made our sessions much more productive and has eased some of the anxiety on my part. Slowly I am getting to the point where I can initiate a subject. Before I could only answer direct questions.
