It's not age, it's history and what we've been taught. I'm in my 30s and it took me a good long while to open up as much as I wanted to with my T and I still have awkward feels about it where I freak out. That being said, it's gotten easier, not because of age but because of practice. The first time is terrifying. And then when they respond well, you get a little bit more to share and you freak out... and then they respond well.

I used to want to hide under the table before a session. Now I still feel a knot in my stomach, but I'm much more confident when I share something deeply personal with my T.
