Sigh - over a year and a half with this T...I trust her almost completely...and yet before almost every session, I get so anxious. I think, it's mostly because I'm finally really working on my issues, and it's hard, emotional work. I'm scared to access those emotions, I'm scared to deal with them. I'm scared that the emotions will trigger other things I'm trying to deal with, like SI or ED. I know my T is there for me and will help me through it...doesn't make it that much easier, though.
Just....needed to get this out somewhere before I go! Usually I'd toss it in a draft email or on textpad, but I thought...if I toss this out here, maybe someone else will understand! Gah!

Oh, yes! Definitely understand. I will tell you that I have been seeing T for 16 years and I still get nervous before sessions. I don't think it has anything to do with trust...I think it just has to do with talking about really tough stuff. It's SO normal! I am thinking of you and hoping that it goes/went in a direction that you feel satisfied/content with!
