This will sound strange. But we don't have a "talk about everything" type of relationship. She talks, I listen. I ask questions, she answers them. 80% of the questions that are asked in session are coming from me. I can't imagine me sharing something like this with her. It would be so uncharacteristic of me.

I spend 3% of the time talking about my feelings. If that much. Partly because I don't know what I'm feeling and also because I always feel a bit hesitant to share my feelings on a certain subject if we've already plowed that field already. I don't have any experience I've withheld from her, so just about everything has been "plowed".

I think this must be the downside of going to a CBT? If I spend a lot of my time talking about negative experiences, I'm always afraid she'll conclude that I'm traumatized and thus in need of EMDR (which I really hate, sorry!) I have a feeling, though, that if we were just doing talk therapy, she wouldn't feel compelled to *do* anything but listen and sympathize. I think that may be the component that's missing sometimes.
