My healing journey has been helped tremendously by novels.
T. and I will read the same book and then talk about it. that is how I've found "words" and ways to express self and traumas....
through others writings.

I have always struggled to communicate and minimize awful/upsetting things: like a simple example- if I had a 10 inch cut I'd tell someone I got a little scrape
am so fearful of any "weakness" and
it being used to further injure/hurt me

I have also used drawing(I'm so NOT an artist-- stick figures for me), writing poems and just jotting subjects down that come to mind and taking that paper in with me to the session.

I hope you can find the avenue that works best for you and that it also works well with the T. you see.
I wish you the best and please keep us posted, if you feel up to it
