I have faith that you can do it! I never thought I could allow myself to be so vulnerable. With time, I've learned he won't hurt me and that I am safe there in his office. My one wish is that when the session was over that everything would stay contained in his office until the next session. Too bad it doesn't work that way - I try really hard to use my "good" coping skills when I am overwhelmed. It doesn't always work and sometimes I resort to negative coping skills - I try really hard not to beat myself up over the slips and acknowledge that it will happen. I'm not an expert at this by any means, I DO know I have to do this because I don't want to stay stuck in this mode forever!
