In psychotherapy, I have always tried to be as open as possible, because I have assumed that this would make the therapy more productive. Unfortunately, I have found that therapists are uncomfortable when I am too open.

I have begun to suspect that I have never actually been psychotic - or at least I was not as psychotic as I once thought. I suspect I might be somewhat psychic at times instead of being psychotic. Like I suspect I can sense things beyond physical reality, and sometimes those things guide me or attempt to guide me. I hesitatingly decided to share this idea with my therapist, but I could tell by the expression on her face that she thought I was not being honest or trying to shock her or something. She obviously didn't want to talk about it, and that is how it has always been when I try to talk about things I have experienced. My previous therapist was the same way. When I try to talk about these things on forums. I can feel people carefully taking a few steps back from me like I have the plague.

It's a shame when a person can't talk without fear of rejection - even in therapy. It is when ideas and experiences are kept hidden that they can grow into problems.

In fairness, the particular experience was very strange. Unfortunately, that seems to be the way these types of experience are. *sigh*
