I did. It was about a year into my therapy and my T and I were having communication issues. Well, I should say I was having communication issues. I was (am) VERY fearful of rejection and the idea of opening up made me feel vulnerable. For weeks, We had been talking about the possibility of me writing her letters or allowing her to see some entries in my journal. After three months trying to decide if I trusted her enough to do that, I decided to see another T to help me figure myself out. My real T was not overjoyed about this btw. I went to the other T and told her my issue about opening up and trusting my T enough to allow her to read my scribbles. Right off the bat the new T pointed out how patient my T was and attentive to my needs and fears. I knew this already but when she said it the significance echoed in my thoughts. Then, she asked me why I really came to see her. I repeated what I had already said. She asked me if I wanted to trust my T. I said yes I really did want to trust her or else I wouldn't have asked new T to help me. She looked at me and said..."(my name), what I think you really want is for someone to tell you it's ok to trust your T because you don't trust yourself." She was right!! That was a year and a half ago. It was one visit and it did the trick. I still struggle sometimes but I've sent her numerous emails and journal entries filled with things I can't bring up in therapy.
