I would start with a tangible incident when therapy has helped me, write that out, what happened, how it helped and what I felt and learned and then see if I could better expand on "that". Or, substitute your relationship with your T for "therapy" and look at how that is; what you are afraid of, what progress you are making "relating", etc. When I was first in therapy it felt like my therapist was trying to "corral" me, like I was a wild Mustang or something but over time I got tamer and tamer so when T held out her hand with a sugar cube at the end I came over to her readily for the sugar cube and then "got it" so that I could decide if I liked the person and judge what I thought were their motives and if I wanted a sugar cube, etc. rather than just running from everyone, willy-nilly. Perhaps re-reading The Little Prince might help?
