I sat there and played with a paper clip for the whole time. When I saw my first real T, I coud talk about some things but never about my feelings. It was like pulling teeth! I honestly don't know how I changed but I think it was out of desperation to tell another person what was inside of me.

I know YOU will get to that point with your T. I think it's a good idea if you draw. Does your T have fingerpaint? I found it so relaxing just to make big swirls, but you could do that with markers too! I talked while I painted, and my T said she saw how relaxed I was. I'm not saying it will be like that for you, but it's worth a try, isn't it?

if she doesnt have an agenda i am going to try very hard to just ask if i can draw.dont know if i will be able to but i figure if it is only like a pencil and paper how scary can asking for that be it isnt all that intrusive.i could have done this last week because we sat in silence the whole time but i didnt even seeit as a poertunity to ask i was freaked out by her comming down to get me late.not going to miss it this week unless she starts asking me things and wanting me to talk.
