Hey guys. Many of you probably know (I'm sorry for always asking these things on the thread) but I see a therapist for GAD. For the past 2 weeks we've started doing some exposure therapy. It sucks. I only got past like 1 part of an entire list of things I have to face. So now I'm on the 2nd part of the exposure and it's actually really tough. I've been trying to face it for 3 weeks now and still couldn't. I saw my therapist yesterday and we talked about some pretty hard stuff and I barely even made any eye contact. At the end my T said that it is hard and that's the reason my T is pushing my to continue. I honestly almost felt like crying yesterday. So now I'm trying to collect the nerve to do the exposure but again, can't. I want to email my T and ask how I can just get this over with already because I keep backing out. At the end of the session my T walked me out and asked if I was okay and I said yeah, then told me to email if anything came up (my T always lets me use email because I can't talk about certain things).
Any ideas? Thanks!
