I have tons of resistance. I say 'I don't know a lot'. Lately, I've been trying to come back w/ a list in hand, and say well last time we talked about X and I thought about it and feel X.
It took me almost a year to talk about the sexual trauma in my history. I have never trusted anyone with this information other than one boyfriend and my current husband and even he I didn't share all of the details.
In fact, the night I told T about it, I stopped at a local martini place and had two martinis. This made it easier but I wish I could talk freely. I did tell T that night that I had two martinis. Since I'm not an alcoholic I guess it wasn't an issue.
That was one of our best sessions. I was so embarrassed.
As far as successes, I try to gage improvement in my outside life. Outside of the session. I have seen some improvement, at least in the job/boss arena.
