i feel this way too, about not wanting to tell everything. my t doesnt push me either. he patiently waits for me to talk about this on my own time, which is going on 5 years now. soemtimes i wish he would push me a little, because im a master avoider. but sometimes i just want to leave it be in the past where it belongs. but is it affecting me here, today? probably.
