I hear you about not really knowing how to do the reader's digest version. I have trouble with that myself. I try bullet-points sometimes, but constantly have to remind myself it's supposed to be an outline and not all the details.

Also, when T's ask about where I feel safe, I tend to think of physical spaces I could actually go to. I would not have thought to mention my art journal (which is where i feel safe expressing things)...

Hopefully you guys can get to a point where you trust her enough to be able to talk to her about all this stuff. It's a tough road to build the trust, but it can be worthwhile.

Good luck with T.
