OK. So I've been complaining that I don't seem to cover much more than surface stuff with T and feeling like I'm getting no where with all this. So, I decided to try writing down what I was thinking and giving it to him (in advance). He acknowledged that he'd received it and said we could talk about it next time. Great. Now, at least I know that he knows what I'm thinking. And I figure I can answer any questions he has about what I wrote.

Then at the session on Monday he brings it up and wants me to read to him what I've written. I wanted to sink into the floor. No way do I want to read out loud what I've written - as the whole point in sending it in a written form was that I don't feel comfortable talking about it. We ended up dropping it and bullshi**ing about the weather for an hour. As I was leaving I felt like someone should stamp a big fat red F on my paper. Another wasted hour. Money down the drain.

I am never going to get the hang of this therapy stuff. How do you people do this on a regular basis? You all amaze me.
