That was #1 on my list of things to talk about last week, but I couldn't say it because I didn't want to make waves. I don't feel like all of it is directed at t, more at my pdoc, but I didn't want to make her feel bad by saying anything.

It is her job to manage her feelings. It is also her job to hear your feelings and make you know that you are understood and accepted. By speaking you give her the chance to do her job. How much confidence do you have that she is up to the job?

And it's not something that just came up during that week, it's an old wound. I don't open myself up enough to people in my life, so when I need something I feel like my needs are downplayed because no one thinks they are that important.

You might even come to resent others in your life for not recognizing the severity. How much confidence do you have that if you told the true severity, they would be accepting, nonjudging, and helpful?
