You NEED to be open in the psychologists office!! How else can he/she help you? Why don't you want to let your emotions out to the psychologist? Is it a matter of trust? Is trust the issue with everyone -- even yourself??

Bottling up your emotions is NOT good. Of course we need to be able to CONTROL our emotions, but that's different than "bottling" them up! We need to know when showing our emotions is appropriate. In the therapists office, it is CERTAINLY appropriate to show our emotions -- otherwise, the therapist won't have a clue "who" we are!

There are those of us who have become so good at bottling up our emotions that now we are completely numb. We can't feel anything -- we can't cry, feel love, grief, sadness, joy, happiness -- anything!! That is NO way to live. Do you want to end up like that?

Please -- let it "go" in the therapists office. You won't regret it, and you'll not only find relief but you'll understand yourself a little better too! God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
