The first time I told her, it was hard and I was so anxious leading up to it, but the conversation that came out of it was really good. Each time I bring something like this up, it gets easier.
Do you have the option to contact your therapist outside of session? It might help you feel better to let her know how you're doing.

Thank you for your reply. I will bring this up with T at my next session but she doesn't really allow contact in-between sessions other than for scheduling purposes so I'm kind of my own until I see her again on Thursday.
