I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling. Do you have problems talking to other people in general or is it just with the therapist?
Perhaps you would feel better if she would come to your home? I'm aware that not all therapists are able to visit at your home though. Maybe you feel a bit intimidated by the office or the atmosphere there. I wonder if you could ask to see her somewhere you feel comfortable in. Or maybe you could bring along a good friend for support? These might be things you already thought about so sorry if I couldn't give any useful advice.

I get very anxious--shake (body shakes--arms, fingers, legs, feet) & shallow breathing. I mean she does mediation with me and it definitely lessens the anxiety, but it doesn't help me talk. I take meds before I go to her in hope that it will kick in, but it's no use. I wish I would feel comfortable enough to talk; I don't know why I feel uncomfortable. She's nice and non-judgemental and gentle with me and she's trying to help me.
