I think, at least for me, just saying things outloud takes away a lot of the power and energy that some thoughts have. It has taken me a long time to believe that, although I have a million examples.

My T encourages me to talk about anything and everything with her, and then definitely is much easier said than done, but it does help. Alot of times what I think is over-the-top or crazy, she'll normalize for me, or help me understand why I think/feel a particular way. I'm assuming that's what your T is doing for you.

Good luck
