"We do need to explore exactly what you are feelings to ensure you work through them in a healthy way. "

Your T is involved in your healing... the use of the "we" word

It is hard to be so honest with your T about those things. But it is also very important. And T is right - that is the only way to learn how to work through the emotions in a healthy way.

Just a hint for today if you would like. I had BIG trouble once talking about my T to my T on something. So I decided I was going to start off by pretending he was a different T. I just took a shot at this and it worked!! I was able to start the session by "See 'stranger T' my normal T did xyz a few sessions ago." He worked with me along the lines of "How did what he said make you feel at the time?"

By doing this, I was able to really get the issue on the table without fear. Before I even realized it, there we were talking normally about the situation between the two of us :-) It amazed me!

Good luck today!!!
