There are many problems I have which I can't seem to tell my therapist. I really like him and I feel like he never judges me and that I'm safe when I'm with him, but I just can't tell him about some things. I've been able to tell him about my stress problems and some anxiety problems, but I can't tell him about much else. He asks if I feel hopeless, and I DO, but I say no. Et cetera. I can't tell him the extent of my phobia of vomiting, I can't tell him about my severe skin picking or my self esteem problems, I can't tell him about my internet research compulsions, I can't tell him about my attention problems, I can't tell him that I'm afraid of sex when ill be married soon, and I can't even tell him that I've really been feeling depressed. I sit at home and I cry and I feel like all I need is someone to help me, but then I walk into his office and I just can't do it. I feel so ashamed, especially about the skin picking and the sex issues. I think in some ways I might be afraid of a diagnosis, but also I might be afraid he'll judge me secretly, even when I don't consciously think he will. I mentioned to him that I might bring in my boyfriend, soon-to-be-fiance to a session, just so they could talk alone and maybe he could express the depths of my problem and how afraid I am to tell my therapist--because he's the one who's up at three in the morning talking to me on the phone when I'm crying like a crazy person. But I feel like that's a cop out. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone have any advice for telling him?
