It won't be humiliating. I give my t "epistles" to read and she will ask me if I want to read them out loud, if I want her to do it now, or I want her to do it sillently. I usually tell her to read it silently. But she will stop and coment every few lines or so. And we talk about it. So it isn't as awkward as it sounds.

Also it took me a long time to reach out in crisis. When I was self harming, etc. and I wish I had done it sooner. T is a lucky resource and I wish I has gotten the guts to open up sonner. I hope that u can get the courage to talk to her. Because it is really helpful.
