(((( HUGS )))))

I have shared with my T some of my secrets, and in the safety of my relationship with T, he still sees me as someone he likes, admires, cares for....which is HUGE for me - and actually causes all sorts of issues/feelings for me as well. That's a different chapter. I would not want you to be deterred from sharing, as I know that it's an important part of therapy and of the growth of the relationship.

My current fears are disclosing such huge things to others who are perhaps more judgmental, less empathetic, less sensitive, etc....in essence, not my T...vaery, very scary to me.

At some point in my life, I hope to be at a place where I am so content and ok with myself that the reactions of others wouldn't be important at all...
