Wow, you went from wanting to talk to someone to not being allowed to even look at them because of such an impertinent desire in only two sentences
Start with what T said yesterday when you told her you wanted to talk to her. She gave you permission to do that today! You have permission to talk to her, to tell her what you want.
The end. That's all you have so far. You don't know anymore, the rest is all in your head. Now you just have to tell her what you want, you have to make yourself say, "T, I'd like to see you more often because I am having a very difficult time working through trauma."
You didn't have any trouble talking to your psychiatrist, telling him what you wanted. Remember that, too. Just have the same conversation with T that you had with your psychiatrist.
