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.
I hear you, it is the same feeling for me, and it is awful. Maybe it is worth talking about the reasons, why do you feel that way? What makes it so hard to open up? I found it helpful to switch therapists. I need someone who is unprovoking and I also prefer talking to women.
You said rape of privacy - is this a trigger for you? Have your boundaries been disrespected by someone before?
Please find help, I hope this gets better for you
Thanks for this!
