I haven't quite been able to articulate my thoughts on this to my T yet. but I am a bit concerned about power issues.

I've been seeing a T for the first time, about 4 months now. She is the expert and I am the opposite. I had never expected it to feel like that. I feel that this somehow diminshes my sense of self. She is very articulate, I am full of emotion when I am in the room with her and find it hard to express myself. Sometimes I feel that I have to almost argue against her when she doesn't seem to understand me - hard when she is overpoweringly more articulate.

I'm imagining that this is a bit of a universal issue - not unique to me and my T?

I have spoken to her about my fears of therapy destroying me a bit - but haven't been able to articulate exactly what I meant by that.

(these thoughts are running alongside lots of postive thoughts about therapy, including what great insight it is giving me, and what a relief to talk, finally, after all these years).
