Yeah, probably building the defenses would detach me too much. I will talk to T about it tomorrow. I'm at my wit's end. I really really don't know how to do this.

I asked her where can I get the courage. She said it will come when the time is right like it has before. I have been able to share with T some things I never would have thought I'd be able to so maybe she's right. But how long do I wait for courage to show up?
Let me know if she answers that one! I'm starting to get impatient with the frustration of being able to talk about stuff (or about making some progress) in therapy too. I'm afraid therapists have forever, but I don't want to wait that long!

I'm glad you said you'll talk about it tomorrow. Good luck. I'll be curious how it goes.
Thanks for this!
