What helped me open up to my therapist was to ask her what kind of therapy she did. There are many types of psychotherapy. Our discussion opened up so many things I was wondering about and worried over. It's a question that doesn't start with anything too close, but helps so much to understand important therapy matters. Maybe during that, you can find out what the legal policies are in regard to your diagnosis. That would really be a barrier to anyone's ability to open up to their T.
