I've never been physically "afraid" of any therapist I've ever seen . . . Of course, more than a few times, I've felt a bit uncomfortable because I realized they were crazier than I was, but never afraid.

I do often feel nervous about how my therapist is going to judge or interpret what I'm saying, but when this happens, I always realize afterwards that this is usually my own issues exerting their influence on how I feel--I am the kind of person who needs external validation to feel okay about myself and this often leads to me censoring what I'm saying in therapy. Not a very productive behavior when you think about therapy works. . . I really do need to work on that if I ever hope to make any significant progress in therapy!
