I find myself being more honest about what I think and how I feel about what T has said to me. I find it leads to more conversation and better understanding of each other. I also find myself holding back less and when I do hold back I examine why in my post session processing. That usually leads me to bring it up in next session.

Talking to T about thoughts/feelings about him/her can be a very difficult subject. However, it could be an important conversation so it won't interfere with your therapy. It could also bring about better understanding of each other as difficulties you have in therapy could be related to those thoughts/feelings depending on what those thoughts/feelings are. Just remember it's not your job to protect T and T can't help make connections related to that subject if you don't talk about it. But ultimately it's your choice to talk about it or not. But for what it's worth: I wish I had talked to my pdoc about my feelings or him. It may have help in my cooperation in my treatment plan. I can't now cuz he's not my pdoc right now but it helped to even talk about it with new T.

Just some thoughts for consideration...
