I really need to talk with my T about some of the verbal abuse I've been through with my family over Christmas. I know that if I wait until my session with her on January 17th I'll probably chicken out and even if I do mention it, I probably won't be able to really open up about this. But I see her on January 6th and 13th for my DBT skills group.

Do you think it would be appropriate, to give her a really open letter about this at the end of the group? Like quickly telling her that this should be our subject in my individual session, but that it's be easier for me if she read the letter the first when I'm not around.
I've never done this before with her, so i don't know how she would react. And I wonder if I should give it to her on the 6th or the 13th... What would you do?
