I have always found it hard to talk with my T - I emailed early on in our time together and I found it so much easier to be open. However apparently it is better to do it in real time face to face as then the work can't take place in such a detached way (so emailing is banned). I think the whole reason why it is harder face to face, can be because we are tapping into a different part of us.
The only courage I have is to turn up (and that is often so hard for me). Sometimes I say very little and can't even look at T, so I guess even in real time, I don't always "face" T.
I think it is about taking small steps.
