ErinBear,

I too struggle with talking while in my therapist's presence. Before I go I try to practice what I want to talk about and even write it down sometimes, but when I get there, I seem to be all tense and my mind goes "blank". She says it's due to being so nervous.

I feel very fortunate to have a wonderful experienced therapist who understands and is very caring. She helped me to understand that some of my problem talking is shame which I totally agree with.

Know you are not alone with this and many of us struggle with the very same thing.
