Well, I think that the more you are able to share with safe people, the easier it will become. Just today I read a letter/drawing that my inner child wrote to my T(I had a session today) about her vacation next week. I felt very vulnerable at first and even had some tightness show up in my chest/diaphragm. I sat with these body sensations while talking and staying connected to my T and it was hard to do! In the end, my anxiety level dropped and I was able to look my T in the eye. I felt heard and understood. Try small steps with one or two safe people - I will be thinking about you!
