It's always possible that she's just not the right one for you, but over time you should get more comfortable and be able to open up more. The one thing I would suggest is that when she asks you a certain question and you're feeling overwhelmed by it, I would simply ask her to rephrase or go into more depth on the question and that might help you answer it better. Good luck!  Hope it gets better for you soon. |
Thanks for the reply!
I haven't been seeing this T for very long; I just had my fourth session with her today. I actually like this T very much and I do think she is a good fit for me I'm just really not used to talking about my feelings. The only time I ever do is during T and like I said, my previous therapy experience have been quite different to this one. I think I am going to start writing things down between sessions so I can have my thoughts at least somewhat organised and bring what I have written to the next session. I also like your suggestion about asking T to rephrase questions or go into more depth.
