hehehe T thanking you for sharing is just that, imo. He understands that it was not easy, and thus why you emailed in the first place. You do go ...to therapy...and if you don't wish to discuss it, just say so. I don't know of any Ts personally that that have dragged information out of patient

What do you think scares you about being real with T? That saying something makes it seem "real?" Or that you fear T not liking you or not wishing to work with you after you share?

My T doesn't do email. I think that's a good thing, for me...and for him. We do okay on phone sessions, probably because of the relationship over time we've built up... but the actual face to face...well there's just nothing to compare with "real" than that!
