My very lowest, bleakest, ugliest moment in therapy was when I waded, no, honestly, when I plunged, cannonball, into an agressive space with my therapist. I'll never forget it. It was my most regretful session.

Then, she came back at me with a passion. She had her brief upset moment too, and we ended. In the empty space between that contact and the next, I was wrecked.

When the next contact occurred, we started the repair work, her doing the heavy lifting, but me holding my own as well. She learned a great deal from seeing me agressive, and while I was not pleased it happened.... it was a most valuable experience. She came back recovered, caring, with new tools, and our relationship has continually gotten stronger than that. She proved herself to me. A very powerful experience.

I think it is important, in therapy of this type, to indeed get to the point where we show our darker sides, agressive, insecure, jealous... whatever it may be, or all of the above.

A therapist worth our time will be just fine dealing with this side of us. I can see why you're afraid, but... I have a feeling you know instinctively how well bravery and honesty can pay off.

And that your worst expectations of the outcome are just that... worst possible, not most likely.
