For those of you who haven't read any of my old posts yet, ill give a brief overview about the situation I'm in. I'm 20 and I've been seeing T for a year. I was diagnosed with GAD. So far its been a pretty difficult thing to do because I'm naturally a very shy person and barely talk to anyone about my issues, let alone a stranger. Lately I've been feeling more safe with her which is good I guess. So now were at the point in therapy where we are going to work on my greatest phobia(s). She asked me if I wanted to do exposure with her and at the time I said yes because I really want to get over these fears as they are honestly controlling my life. I haven't seen T for a month (she went on vacation + I have exams this week) so I'm seeing her next week. Im dreading it because thats when we start the exposure (she wanted to do it after all the stress in my life was gone so we can start at the "right place"). I dont know what to do, do I cancel, do I tell her I dont want to do the exposure, or do I trust her and go along with it?
Thank you !
