about not editing.......... what if the reaction you are going through at the moment, and journaling about, is intense negativity toward the T? Isn't this a danger that the T relationship will be adversely impacted (perhaps permanently)?
IMO, client feelings of hostility are all part of the scene (like transference feelings, not "real" in the usual sense), but Ts are people too, and I fear ... not being honest, but being THAT honest. what do you think?

Hi SAWE,
So far, the only complaining I do about therapy is to make a list about things I DON'T want to talk about, which, of course, leads her right into a discussion about why I wouldn't want to discuss these issues. I don't really have problems with my t except for the eye-rolling and sighing I do during therapy. She questions my expressions, so now I am trying to get these in check. Actually, my t is pretty thick-skinned, so I don't think I would hurt our relationship if I journaled negative feelings about her. I thinkthis could lead to healing in some way.
