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.
I have the same problem in my therapy too,
It's hard to talk even though my therapist insists I can feel safe with her.

I have started taking a stress ball with me as BlessedRhiannon just mentioned.
Hopefully it will start working for me.
