Yeah, there's that, but I get Yearning on this one. I'm generally pretty therapy positive and don't have a lot of shame about going. But I see my T outside of session (not deliberately but for eg walking on the street, at the store) often because we live very close to one another and I often get this terrible vulnerable feeling when I see her. She knows all my needy, gross, infantile feelings. I would also find it hard to feel competent at a meeting if she were there. Not because therapy itself is shameful but because I need to able to shut off the feelings of shame that come up in therapy so I can function in the rest of my life.
