I think one barrier is not feeling safe enough with your T to divulge certain things. I work on this by working on the therapeutic alliance and building trust through getting to know T better, sharing less difficult things and getting good responses from him, etc. If there is something I really want to share and can't, I may write about it repeatedly in my journal and even practice reading outloud about it, just to get my mouth used to saying the words.

You have mentioned EMDR sessions several times before. Can you expand on what they are?
I also agree with sharing a little and finding the trust there allows us to expand our trust level. I am thinking of getting a new journal as I have not journaled in some time. It may help me bring out some things of my own.
I think I am also thinking that there are things that I know are barriers and am working on those now. It is not easy and that is a matter of facing my own music ...so to speak.
[Quote]. Only then will you be motivated to work hard and "do it." One needs to be patient with oneself and hope the T is too.

Nice thought.... I like that alot... for me and my pdoc too. :-) We work TOGETHER.
I have found the battering thing too and that can be rough. As I said to my pdoc this last time and have before... I would rather that he not zing me at the end of the session as I would like time to counteract or address or answer it in session.
