I've risked a lot with my Ts, but at different levels of comfort and connection. Blurting something out hasn't always helped. 78, interesting that I just emailed my T something I want to work on that is really really; hard. I was thinking of starting another thread about it, even. Body stuff. Not being able to say anatomy words. I feel so connected with her now that I think I want to try with her.
I think everything can be said, but it doesn't mean it's worked on or worked through. There's a difference. Telling is important, but then exploring it can happen. So, you can be at a plateau in the telling everything, but still have more work to do.
Do you feel okay with telling her? I know sometimes I've felt ashamed right after telling something, but then I feel better later. Or sometimes it goes in reverse, and I need reassurance from my T. She says nothing is TMI in therapy. Sorry if I got off track, but I just emailed my T about the anatomy words.
