Hi AnxiousGirl

You are far from the only person who would have ever felt this way.

When I feel certain things about my therapy / therapist sometimes I will admit I too have thought "I honestly have no idea how to tell my therapist this without feeling that I offended her."

And then I am reminded of the fact that my therapist is a trained professional.

My therapist separates her emotions from the therapy session.

And it is important for my own progress that I let my therapist know how I really feel.

Because my therapist will not be "personally" offended.

But my therapist can not help me unpack my feelings unless I am honest with her.

My suggestion would be before you suddenly stop therapy because of this reason and you think that you can not communicate the underlying reason to your therapist; please re assess this situation.

It is important that your therapist knows this.

Your therapist does not exist to be personally offended.

Your therapist is a trained professional.

Please let your therapist know about this at your next session.

Thanks for this!
