Withorwithout you,

I'm sorry to hear you struggle with shyness and social anxiety! That must be really hard to deal with. I can see why it would help you to have to express your feelings out loud. It takes bravery to do that!

I don't consider myself shy, but i am inhibited. It is very, very hard for me to talk to my t in person about how i feel about the t relationship. I usually always do it in email. I use email also when i feel hurt about something, instead of telling her in person when it happens. I guess in some ways - i hide behind email. It would probably benefit me if i jotted notes down about how i feel between sessions, then take them in and talk to her one-on-one about it. But that feels SOOOOO SCARY!! With email, it sort of introduces the idea, then my t can bring it up in session. Passive, i know. . .
