1. How do you be more open?

I am pretty honest, I am also a horrible liar so it's pretty obvious if I am not being completely open. I tend to write a lot though- that seems to help

2. How do you lead your sessions?

I don't really lead, T tends to bring up different topics until one seems to be the focus, sometimes I journal about things and bring it in

3. How do you show emotion when you have the ability to smile whilst feeling sad?

This still confuses me, I really struggle with this too, sometimes inside I am crying but the exterior me shows and happy picture, so when I try and explain how I am feeling I feel as though people don't believe me. I somehow believe it comes from being punished as a child for showing emotion. It's a hard one, but writing down how I am feeling really helps, you don't need to display anything cause the words paint the picture for you and you can't hide from that.
