Therapy is often uncomfortable I think.... though I have experienced both with 2 different pdocs.

Well when your life is a mess... then it is often difficult to share that stuff particularly when you are still in a new therapeutic relationship. When you are sharing your soul it is just difficult, particularly when you are with a T you are still getting to know.

What might you share without him asking you?

One thing you have made me remember is that I was nervous early on when I considered that this guy seemed so competent (sp?) and that maybe he'd do what he set out to do... so it was time to put up or shut up. It scared me to think of allowing him access to me inside my little walled city. Having said that, I have been trying as much as I know how to make that connection anyway.

Believe ME... I know this feeling and perhaps you are not ready to put up..It does take time, trust, bonding. Work on the barriers.... both of you and perhaps you will feel more up to move forward. I know this is scarey...but what therapy is all about.

Yes...easier to say than do.. I know this but good luck. Think of this as you go to sleep tonight and see what you come up with over night or what dreams may come to you.
