Hi,

Ive been with my T for a little over three years now, and things are still very difficult for me. Dont get me wrong, shes a very kind person, not pushy, understanding, and helpful, but I have such a hard time. I stare at the floor when Im in her office, my hands sweat continously, and the anxiety, well, its high. I get so nervous that I blank out at times and kinda 'go away' in my own mind. I want to move past this fear so badly, and I have told her many times how nervous I am, and shes very understanding, just wish I could move past it. I dont know, it might just be my insecurities that make me so uncomfortable, but what do I do about it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to relax more when Im in the office. On the phone I seem to be able to talk a bit more with her, and that can be helpful, but even then, I get stuck at times. Just wondering what to do. Is thier anything people do to kind of prepare for a session, am I the only one who has such an awful time trying to open up. I do feel as though I trust her for the most part, and again, the parts that dont trust, well, I know I need to work on that with her, its just so darn hard. Why am I such an insecure thud when it comes to therapy, I know shes only trying to help, why cant that be enough?? Any sugesstions would be greatly appreciated!!
