Oh.. one more thing...

Although a first step into vulnerability is indeed scary... what you'll soon find out is that it will free you. Your anxiety will disappear once you put your foot in that water. Remember, you are opening up the door to your therapist. You'll walk out feeling washed clean. And your relationship with that therapist will take on a whole new dimension that is exquisite to experience. Vulnerability is not a bad thing when you are in a safe, therapeutic relationship.
