Giving more means to me the following.
Just me. Only my opinion.

Verbalizing thoughts without editing
Telling the truth
Bearing my soul if I want/need to
Showing childlike or infantile parts of my personality, even if it's very embarrassing
Crying and even sobbing out of control, If I want/need to

I have very deep, and easily accessed emotions. I allowed her to see them all.
And, for me, that was when therapy worked best. For me.
