Sometimes I have to just get out of my head and talk.
Unfortunately, there is no way you can predict what your therapist will do, say or think. That is not within your realm of control.
However, you can know that you are worthy of and entitled to her compassion, understanding and empathy no matter what lies beneath.
That is your right as a client, and well, basically as a human being.

Elliemay - I suspect the blurt may be in my future also. I am so on the verge of sharing with T but so far I can't. I plan - next month; maybe the month after that; maybe if I ask her enough questions; maybe I can avoid it altogether; maybe it's not necessary; maybe I'll just quit; maybe I shouldn't; maybe maybe maybe. So, I guess I'm an overthinker too. Actually, my T did tell me that already. I want everything to be in order but she's trying to teach me that sometimes we must travel through chaos to get to order (safety).
