Hi. I am glad you have an understanding boss. I would be worried if you are using your boss as a therapist. Bosses run businesses and they have bosses that ask them to report. If your need for support is seen by your boss as a drag on her performance it could be seen as a detrimental thing.

If you have a therapist I would talk about this right away. If you don't I would consider getting one. If you need a therapist, get one rather than risk jeopardizing your job. You can always water down answers to your boss. You cannot go back once you cross an invisible boundary by revealing or depending on her too much.

If you don't have a therapist "Ask the Therapist" is a volunteer based question and answer exchange as the volunteers are able. You submit a question and they may be able to answer.
