I can only hope I am in the "open" mood tomorrow in therapy. It will be my 1st session 2 weeks. I am overflowing with stuff I want to tell him. I have dreams, revelations, thoughts, insights-- all written down. I'm sure the session will start out like this:

Him: Hi. So, what's been going on?
Me: Nothing.

I can so relate. When I see my T, he usually asks me "how are things going" or "how are you?" and I usually answer "OK," even if I am not OK. This last session, I said to myself I am not going to answer OK when I have not been OK. So when he asked me, I said "I've had an awful week." There, it was out. I didn't pretend things were better than they were. And we didn't have to do the dance of coming around to the truth. It was great!

pinksoil, I hope today you didn't say "nothing" and were able to share all the insights you have been having.
