hey mouse. yeah, i have a fear of people laughing at me too. and i hate feeling vulnerable and dependent. i'm really afraid of someone knowing i feel vulnerable and dependent. takes a lot of trust to get that one out there.

i'm so glad that your therapist is really very receptive to this and she seems to be handling it really well indeed. you took a huge risk to share some of those feelings with her. i'm so glad it paid off for you :-)

gently does it.
