You never know what anyone will do with what you share and how they will deal with it. Yet, it makes no sense to attend sessions without being able to talk about all you need to talk about. If you want to give your therapy a chance to work, there is no other way except taking the risk of being misunderstood or rejected. So, in the way, it's a no risk situation because you have no other choice if you want to proceed with therapy. If you want to safe proof your life all the way through to the end, then you can't engage with anyone or anything. It's really an "either or" issue. There is no middle ground when it comes to such major life dilemmas. And you are always making a choice, even if it seems to you that you aren't. By hesitating to make a choice, you are making a choice not to engage with life.
