My week was HORRIBLE. One of the worst weeks I've ever had. There was so much I wanted to tell her but I was so terrified and also afraid of crying (she knows that I'm scared of that). So I don't know if she noticed that I was hiding something but she told me that if there was anything that I wanted to share or if something did come up then I could email her anytime I want. I don't want to email her, I want to tell her. I have an appointment next week but I'm terrified. Should I just email her about what I didn't say?
Thank you so much for reading!

I think you should do both. E-mail her that you need to talk about that week and how you're feeling. If you can give a little detail about it so she's not blind sighted. Then when you go in please don't be afraid to talk to her. She's getting paid either way, you might as well get something out of it. Who knows, maybe after awhile you will start to feel less shy and more comfortable in therapy. Just don't put pressure on yourself. Take it slowly. Therapy takes time. In the meantime, please feel free to talk to me. Good luck.
