I do this a lot. It's too much for my therapist to read in between so I give it to her during my appointments. I was so nervous the first time I tried. I think I'd taken writing in before but not been brave enough to mention it. My therapist was fantastic about it. She encourages it. I've managed to capture moments in writing that I wouldn't have either remembered well enough to share, or wouldn't have been brave enough to say. I think I gradually tested out saying things I wanted to say through writing, little bit by little bit. I do try to say as much as I can out loud. I've seen her for three and a half years and still struggle to talk about the really hard stuff. Even the writing I've been really nervous about sharing has been okay. My therapist really hears my words, my thoughts...and that helps so much. So I've had a really positive experience with it.
