Pink, you are coming to mind right now. I'm scared... I'm not sure I can even give him what I have now.

How do I know if he even wants this information? He knows I'm tracking and he's never asked...what am I thinking?

I realize that as I'm replying to this, your session is undoubtedly over. I was going to tell you to bring it with you no matter what. This is what I normally do when I have something that I am unsure about sharing. Because if you are even considering sharing something with your T it means that part of you wants to. At least your unconscious part. So when you bring it along, that helps things a little. Then you can really make the decision right there in session. Or sometimes even holding what you want to share helps to bring things out. I am a very extreme person. I tend to do either nothing at all or all of it at once. I did not give him one poem, I gave him a manuscript. I did not "test" out the couch or ease onto it, I jumped right on and ended up having a very intense, regressive experience. Sometimes the extreme serves me well in therapy, other times not. T is also learning how to deal with this-- i.e., how to help me ease into things so they won't be so painful vs. occasionally saying, "Come on! Just take a chance!"

Did you take a chance tonight?

I am anxious to hear what happened. I hope you had a good session.
