My question to you: Have you ever given your T some journal writings or other writings that you didn't expect to ever show him/her (or anyone) ever? How did it go? What happened? Did it help your therapy? What did your T think?
I handed over a steady stream of scary thoughts that I was having. She later said that she read it and that it would help me to talk about it face to face. But I didn't want to discuss it, I just wanted her to know what I was dealing with.

I felt relief and fear in giving all of that to her.
