tigergirl, i recently share an 'elephant' with my therapist - not only was she accepting and didn't run screaming from the room ... she is being the most supportive she's ever been.
but I do know that taking the risk to share is very difficult. it's been months of work to get to the point to share ... but i didn't force it. i knew it was time to share it and also, knowing sharing this will definitely work toward me acheiving my goals that we are working toward.

to you, tigergirl
