You keep saying "face-to-face" - really, you shouldn't have to literally be looking at your T when you're in session - Freud had people on a couch behind him, my T offers me the same option, yours should too. I've talked about some pretty yucky girl stuff with my very handsome male T - hey, he's got a daughter, he's a single dad, that handsome face was the warmest, most understanding face ever. So not sure what you're asking us here? I think you know, yeah, sure we're going to say it's important - but what's your real question about it? I can't put my finger on it.

Hankster ... I am sorry but I do not really understand what DBT group therapy or CBT is or how they work. I am just not familiar with these.
The face to face here is just that ... Two chairs facing each other about 3 to 5 feet apart. That is it. And I do find myself looking at the walls when trying to talk through things.
You are probably correct. I might be hoping everyone will say it is important hoping I will make myself build up the courage to just do it. Not really sure. And to answer you last question "what is your real question about?" This thing is embarrassing and degrading. For me I feel it will be very difficult to talk about. And I was questioning the importance of sharing everything ... every event that a T deems necessary. Is there a point where people just say no? And if so, is that the point where you are saying I no longer need or want help?
Thanks Hankster
