I'm uncomfortable to tell them the past stuff I know of because I think they'll think I'm making up excuses and blaming the past, and maybe I am. So I guess I'm saying that talking about current stuff can be the harder thing to do sometimes. It seems harder to me anyway. No one except me responsible for current stuff.
We spent months and months working on the past. Hurts, disappointments, failed marriage, religious issues that caused me great turmoil, fears, etc.... Yes, we spent A LOT of time digging into the past. I hated it. I hated every minute of it until I had a breakthrough with each of them.

It was worth every heartache I had to go through by reliving those things. I still have more to work through, but I have come a very long way! Talking about my everyday life is proving to be hard as well. I keep thinking that the things I say are not that important, yet she sees them as major things. Don't really get that, but I am trusting her that this is an important stage of my therapy progress.
Thanks for this!
