Sometimes people feel like sharing an emotional experience with their therapists would ease the potential pain, but it doesn't sound to be your case. It's your moment and your grieving - please don't let anyone take that away from you. It's your right to decide when and how to open your package. I hope there's something good and helpful in there!

I don't know if it would be helpful. I keep going back to what it possibly is. But no matter what it is, I'm scared of expressing my emotions in front of T. What if I want to scream? Jump for joy? Cry? Want comfort? I always try to control my emotions especially with people I don't know. I don't even express excitement with people I don't really know.
If I knew my T better, then this would probably be something I'd want to share with her. But right now, not really.
Now the letter... I'll be in the similar situation except there will be a benefit of her being present. In that case, I will probably be confused and have a lot of questions and doubts and concerns. While I won't want to express myself to her, I will need her help processing it.
I guess I just wish I knew her better.
