sidony, I think reaching out to your sister and sharing with her is a huge success! I hope you will tell your T about his. He will be so pleased (feel like he has helped you in a really important way!) and happy for you. One of the first things my first counselor told me was that she couldn't be the only one to bear the burden of my problems and that I needed to have support in my outside life. She was very aggressive about trying to get me to build up my outside support system. The first person I reached out to was also my sister.
