I honestly think it's absolutely twisted that you are expected to say all your troubles and feelings to a stranger. I mean.... I need years to be able to open up to people and even after years I still select people based on how much they understand me or are like me. I don't talk to anyone and I really select just a few... so seeing a therapist and being open there feels like rape for me, I am serious about that... a rape of my privacy... i am not sure what do to about it.

Sometimes people feel better knowing that the person is a trained professional who can't betray your confidence. I sort of look at it like you're paying them to listen so you want them to their job! I've always felt like it's the one place it's safe to spill everything, so I'm completely the opposite from you. That's got to be horrible, feeling like sharing your thoughts and feelings is such an extreme violation. Have you considered what is the worst possible scenario if you open up? Assuming you're not talking to them about killing yourself or someone else, what is the worst possible outcome that might follow opening up more?
