It feels like it gets harder to open up the conversation as time goes on though...I'm going to have to force myself to do it because I want to break through this.

I remember being
terrified when I brought this up with my T. In fact I only remember bits and pieces of the discussion because I was busy wanting to crawl out of my skin. The biggest parts that I remember are that he expressed understanding (he GOT it, he really did!) and that it felt SO good to have his help with something I was actually worried about - something that seemed unsolvable on my own. It's hard, but it is worth it.
He has even asked me if I was worried about messing things up between the two of us. So that doesn't sound silly at all. I bet it is fairly common.
