If it helps, when I first started therapy, there were long periods of time that I would just sit and struggle to find words to say what happened to me. My therapist then was only a master's student in counseling psychology, but she had what it takes because she insisted on making me tell her what happened. Pushing me like that was the best thing she could have done for me. I love her for it. In time, you will be able to say more and more. Just start wherever you can and never never give up.

The jewel can be brought out into the light at any time, and it will glow as brilliantly as if nothing had ever happened. No matter how committed we are to unkindness, selfishness, or greed, the genuine heart of bodhichitta cannot be lost. It is here in all that lives, never marred and completely whole."
