I started therapy because my 16 yr old was smoking pot. The very most important question my T asked me was "Is there anything you can change at home that would help?" I told him no which was a big lie. I myself am addicted to pot. The next visit I came clean and told him I had a pot addiction. He then asked me if I wanted help with that, and I said sure. I had been smoking it for 30 years and now I have been clean for 14 months with a couple of slips in between. I am currently working on a situation where I was forced into sex and 17 yrs. He asked me if I've seen this person since then. I told him a few times. Another lie. Last week I came clean and told him it was my brother-in-law. He then asked me why I didn't tell him. I really don't know. I told him because I didn't want him to know. I'm still thinking about it and I'm realizing that's not true either. I think I was just trying not to feel the pain of that. I will have to come clean again this week. He always goes deeper with every question. He really makes me think. It is so theraputic.
