These books are validating about the therapy experience and keeps a client from thinking she is the only one that feels a certain way.The approximate relationship is very intimate and powerful and can seem magical. One reader said you go to session and have to hurry off with your clothes, share and then leave. And someone else is always waiting to do the same thing. The only way a T can help is if you tell them what is going on in your head. Otherwise you spend time on things that are superficial. Did you give her your name on PC? Did you give her permission to read your stuff? If not she is not allowed to snoop. I have PTSD and I have to share the good, bad and very ugly. I share the very ugly about every third session because it makes me have a flashback. Then we have to stop and she helps me get present. Sharing scares the hell out of me but it is really helping. I thought she would send me away if she knew my bad stuff and she did not. I bet your T knows how hard it is for you. T and the therapy room are your safe place. T's try to create a safe place so you can share. call her. ask her for reassurance. PEACE

P.S. My T and my pdoc know about this forum. I told them and they did not seem to be interested. T said ok and pdoc said watch out. I told them that they are not available to help me except once a week for 45 minutes. pdoc even less that that. My emotions do not shut off just because I leave the office.
